Moved maven-jxr-plugin and maven-project-info-reports-plugin reporting declarations into the parent pom. No need to duplicate in child modules. Utils did not have project-info reports, but there does not seem to be a good reason. Also note that the JXR plugin is naturally skipped when it does not apply (there is no java code), so not necessary to explicitly skip it for gradle and jenkins modules.
