This doesn't work exactly how you would think it would. This is described in the Why don't the links between parent and child modules work when I run "mvn site"? FAQ.

I'm not an expert at Maven but this is how I got a site to generate locally:

1. Configure a <site> in your root POM

   <distributionManagement>      <site>          <id>internal.repo</id>          <name>Temporary Staging Repository</name>          <url>file://${project.build.directory}/mvn-repo</url>      </site>  </distributionManagement>  

2. Build the site for your project

   mvn site  

3. Generate the local staging site. This "Deploys the generated site to a local staging or mock directory based on the site URL specified in the section of the POM."

   mvn site:stage  

4. By default, the site will be generated underneath the ${project.build.directory}/staging directory
