Would be nice to use in the <reporting> section of pom.xml for maven-site

[PatrickSauts]

Right now to be able to deploy the groovydoc with maven site
I have to add this to the pom.xml

   <plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
     <execution>
      <id>copy-groovydocs-to-site</id>
      <phase>site</phase>
      <goals>
       <goal>copy-resources</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
       <outputDirectory>${project.reporting.outputDirectory}/groovydocs</outputDirectory>
        <overwrite>true</overwrite>
       <resources>
        <resource>
         <directory>${project.build.directory}/groovydoc</directory>
         <includes>
          <include>**/*</include>
         </includes>
        </resource>
       </resources>
      </configuration>
     </execution>
    </executions>
   </plugin>

And that to site.xml

    <menu name="GroovyDocs">
      <item title="GroovyDocs" name="GroovyDocs" href="groovydocs/index.html" />
    </menu>

I welcome pull requests!

ok I'll do my best

I second this issue, and can test pull requests as well. It would be great to have the generated groovy docs replace the javadocs in the site since it will be a joint java/groovy doc set.

I found this issue while searching for a solution to do the same; include the generated GroovyDocs in the reports section of Maven generated site. While I wish the process were a little easier, I wanted to point out that the resource plugin is not required to copy the generated docs to the site. Simply specify a destination directory for the groovydoc-maven-plugin:

<plugin>
    
    <groupId>com.bluetrainsoftware.maven</groupId>
    
    <artifactId>groovydoc-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    
    <version>1.3</version>
    ...
    <configuration>
        <destinationDirectory>${project.reporting.outputDirectory}/groovydoc</destinationDirectory>

    </configuration>

</plugin>


You will still need to edit the site.xml to include a link to the documentation, but at least it is one less plugin that needs to be configured.
