I'd hoped that some of the issues with maven site generation
http://jontayler.wordpress.com/2006/07/26/porting-the-plastic-site-over-to-maven-2/
might be fixed by now. There seems to be no hurry to release the next
version of Maven
(see http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/msg51783.html)
so I ventured into bleeding-edge territory and downloaded the latest
SNAPSHOT from
http://maven.zones.apache.org/~maven/builds/branches/maven-2.0.x/
Neither the site:staging bug nor the
windows-maven-site-ignores-settings.xml bug appear fixed. Admittedly,
these are bugs in plugins, rather than the core, so perhaps I just need
to force it to use the latest plugins. How hard can that be?

It's reassuring that I'm not the only one losing patience with the whole Maven endeavour:
