Maven: Report plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-project-info-reports-plugin has an empty version

Question

I have a Maven 2 project which I build with the following parameters:

-B -f <path to pom.xml> clean site -P <several profiles>

I see the following warning message in the build log:

[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.6:resources (default) @ autotest ---
[INFO] Copying 1 resource
[INFO] Copying 1 resource

The part of the pom.xml section with org.apache.maven.plugins:

...
<plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>test</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>resources</goal>
                        <goal>testResources</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.5</version>
            <configuration>
                <filesets>
                    <fileset>
                        <directory>src/main/generated-groovy-stubs</directory>
                    </fileset>
                </filesets>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.8</version>
        </plugin>
        ...

I tried to explicitly include in the dependencies section:

...
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.7</version>
</dependency>
...

But it did not resolve my issue. I still see the warning message in the log.

Include info for the maven-project-info-reports-plugin in the plugin section (where for example also the maven-resources-plugin is specified):

<plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>test</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>resources</goal>
                        <goal>testResources</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
