• Check Source Release report, for checks about artifacts source release publication,

• Check Sites report, for checks about documentation sites associated to artifacts,

• Check Index page report, for checks about index pages,

• Check Errors report, to display errors found in previous checks.

In addition, dist-tool-plugin provides report for some interesting information about Maven artifacts:
