What is your skin packaging type? It should be maven-plugin.

Hello,
I want to have some custom HTML below the left navigation bar in my
maven project site. I guess I have to make my own skin for that. Here's
what I've done so far:
1. Created a maven project based on maven-default-skin.
2. Copied all the resources (css and images) to reflect the structure
of maven-default-skin
3. Copied default-site.vm from doxia-site-renderer to
src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/site.vm (notice different name)
4. Added one <meta> tag in template to see if the template will be
picked up.
5. Changed one value in css to see if change will be picked up.
6. Created a jar
7. Installed in my local repo
8. In my project's site.xml I included this skin with <skin> tag
No luck. No documentation. Please don't redirect me to official site
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/). I don't want to go
there any more, it's scary.
Can someone please explain the procedure?
Regards,
Borut
the documentation is really bad, this list gives some clues, but still
got me nowhere.
