Why don't any data in the generated report?

One of the possible reason is that your master project and its subprojects are not located in the default location the dashboard plugin expects them. by default the plugin expects the subprojects to be located one directory below the master project. In other words, it is looking for subprojecs using the `*/project.xml` pattern.

This can be controlled using the following properties (shown here with their default values:

    maven.dashboard.basedir=${basedir}
    maven.dashboard.includes=*/project.xml
    maven.dashboard.excludes=**/target/**/project.xml

It's also possible to set the Multiproject properties as they are used by default by the Dashboard plugin.

Why is there no Clover report data?

The Dashboard report exists and shows data for all reports apart from Clover. This indicates that no 'clover.xml' was found for your subprojects.

If the Dashboard plugin creates the reports on its own it will set the 'maven.clover.report.xml' to enforce the creation of 'clover.xml'. In the case that already generated reports shall be used you have to set the property manually to enforce the creation od 'clover.xml'.
