Trying to generate mvn site with maven 3 fails and I cannot get why. Calling the site generation with:

mvn3 -e clean site -Pmetrics

Results in:

The error is probably caused by the maven checkstyle plugin. Look at the following line from the build output:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No match found at java.util.regex.Matcher.group(Matcher.java:536) at com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.javadoc.JavadocMethodCheck.getMultilineNoArgTags(JavadocMethodCheck.java:669)

This is real error. If the error is the same as described here and here, then it's a bug of the plugin when encountering a @return javadoc tag which is not followed by any text.

Solution: adding text after the @return tag fixes the issue, which is a good practice by the way, to have javadoc properly filled with the right information :)

Quick test: remove the checkstyle plugin and run it again. If it works, then you isolated the issue, then look for @return tags without text and fix them.
