Error when when generating Doxygen documentation with the Doxygen maven plugin - maven

Question

I am trying to use the Maven Doxygen Plugin. I added that in the pom.xml of my project:
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>net.sf.doodleproject</groupId>
<artifactId>doxygen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>doodleproject-repo</id>
<name>DoodleProject Maven 2 Repository</name>
<url>http://doodleproject.sourceforge.net/maven2/release</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
And I launch the command:
mvn -X net.sf.doodleproject:doxygen-maven-plugin:report
And I have this error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal net.sf.doodleproject:doxygen-maven-plugin:2.2:report (default-cli) on project project: An error has occurred in Doxygen report generation.
Failed to generate Doxygen documentation. -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException:

Doxygen is working well when I use it on my project without the maven plugin.
There is something else to do to use the plugin?
Thanks for your help,

I tried with another plugin: com.soebes.maven.plugins.dmg and it's working.
My pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.7</source>
<target>1.7</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.soebes.maven.plugins.dmg</groupId>
<artifactId>doxygen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<projectName>${project.artifactId}</projectName>
<projectNumber>${project.version}</projectNumber>
<optimizeOutputJava>true</optimizeOutputJava>
<extractAll>true</extractAll>
<extractStatic>true</extractStatic>
<recursive>true</recursive>
<exclude>.git</exclude>
<recursive>true</recursive>
<umlLook>true</umlLook>
<haveGraph>true</haveGraph>
<generateLatex>false</generateLatex>
<generateHtml>true</generateHtml>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/doxygen_doc</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>doodleproject-repo</id>
<name>DoodleProject Maven 2 Repository</name>
<url>http://doodleproject.sourceforge.net/maven2/release</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Try this plugin. Worked great for me:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<failOnError>false</failOnError>
</configuration>
</plugin>
