Mail .pdf maven reports via mail after execution

Question

I want to send my maven reports via mail in the form of pdf. I have come across two plugin: 1-> maven-pdf-plugin 2-> maven-postman-plugin

But i am not able to configure them. It seems maven-pdf-plugin V-1.1 is not compatible with maven 3.0.4. Can someone help me out?

Regards.

Answer 1

Here my configuration, and I don't remember to have hany issue with maven 3 (3.0.4 at least). I'm using :

• Maven 3.0.4
• maven-pdf-plugin : 1.1
• maven-site : 3.0

I'll give a try asap.

Where your process is bugging ? only with pdf creation, or when e-mailing ?
