The latest hibernate tools 5.3 and 6.0 branches contain a new hibernate-tools-maven-plugin.

Even though this maven plugin creates a reasonable maven site as documentation, this site is currently nowhere deployed.
It would be useful if this maven site could be deployed somewhere e.g. as part of the release.

The pom contains a commented out configuration (com.github.github:site-maven-plugin) which would deploy the site as github page. An example thereof can be found here: https://stadler.github.io/hibernate-tools-maven-plugin/

The target of this issue should be to publish the maven site for this plugin publicly.
Unclear is how and where. Possibilities are:

• Deploy as gh-pages for hibernate-tools: https://hibernate.github.io/hibernate-tools/
• Deploy site as part of the official Hibernate Tools site: http://hibernate.org/tools/
• Deploy to some other destination?

The site-maven-plugin that was originally used to deploy the site to github provides the possibility to configure different branches or paths. Therefore it should be possible to deploy individual branches beside each other.

Things to be discussed:

• Where should the site be deployed? gh-pages or official docs?
• Which versions? Only the master or each major, minor or bugfix release?
