Artifact ###### has no file error.

Issue initially created on maven site plugin JIRA ( MSITE-397 ) so please see description of the issue there.

I'm attaching additional maven debug log output snippet which will hopefully shed more light to the issue.

Will have to investigate if this happens only for modules with pom packaging. What I did notice via attached example trivial project, in 2.1.1 info reports plugin for dependencies report for every build plugin downloads transitive dependencies - in 2.1 this at least is not logged if it is being done at all.
