site-maven-plugin fails now that user agent is mandatory

[klieber]

A recent API change is causing the site-maven-plugin to fail. Here is the specific error I am receiving:

Hi,

I've got exactly the same problem. Is there a known workaraound?

Kind regards Thilo

There's a workaround, and a fix merged in trunk see: #37

@kevinsawicki can you shed some light on the new release?

[th-schwarz]

@mprins you saved my day

@mprins thanks for the workaround.

I just pushed a 0.8 of the site plugin with the user agent fix to https://oss.sonatype.org and it should sync over to Maven Central in the next 8 hours or so.
