…n site As discussed at dependency-check#8353 these maven-generated reports no longer serve a useful purpose, and are mainly developer-oriented rather than user oriented, so have been removed from the published sites. A notable exception is the mechanism to generate the reports for the maven plugin; whose plugin-related subset are maintained.
