Question

When I run mvn site:run and go to localhost:8080 i see only 3 folders:

• css
• images
• Web-Inf

How do I get the index.html file? or where should i create an index.html?

pm.xml in site/

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

          <tempWebappDirectory>
            ${basedir}/src/documentation/src/site
          </tempWebappDirectory>

Perhaps something like the following project structure could work for you:

<project>
   +- src/
      +- site/
          +- apt/
          |   +- apt-files 
          |   +- index.apt            <-- index file
          |    
          |- fml/                     <-- optional ... 
          |   +- fml-files
          |
          |- ....
          |   +- ...
          |
          |- resources/
          |   +- css/
          |   +- images/
          |    
          `- site.xml                 <-- this must be configuered appropriately

Also configure the following to be able to deploy:

  <distributionManagement>
     <site>
       <id>site</id>
       <url>http://host.coom/site</url>
     </site>
  </distributionManagement>
