John Allen commented on MSITE-132:
----------------------------------
Guess I'm not explaining myself very well :)
Re the name being used to create the path in the stage mojo when the POM has no
distributionManagement section defined - that sounds like a mistake to me and
thus my [comment to
Denis|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-132#action_103351].
Additionally re Jorg's statements about what and how stage should work. It
works based off maven's distributionManagement section to achieve the use case
of 'mirroring' or staging a deployment to a local file-system location for
local review before real deployment to the project's published location is
performed. It does that just fine and is used by lots of users. Additionally,
being a core plugin, it is designed to support the main Maven usage scenarios,
if you don't do it that way, or want to do it another way, you are of course
free to create your own plugin.
For a wider discussion about Maven's usage including it's plugins i recommend
the [Maven Users Mailing List|http://www.nabble.com/Maven---Users-f178.html]
Lastly, I didn't write these plugins so have absolutely no say on their design
but as an OSS project we can all contribute to Maven's improvement. Start on
the mailing lists and see how others use it, you never know maybe everyone will
agree and the core developers will consider a redesign.

> Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: maven-2.0.4 on any operating system with the latests
> released plugins (after the doxia-1.0-alpha-8.pom bug)

> The <name> of a project in the POM may contain characters that cause trouble
> when used in directory names.
> E.g. my open-source project:
> http://svn.projxpert.com/mmm/trunk/
> Uses names such as "MMM::Configuration". Now when I stage the site of the
> entire project, the relative link "MMM::Configuration" causes mozilla to say
> something like "Unknown protocol 'mmm:'".
> Could you please use the artefactId instead.
> I think personally think that this is a lot better anyways.
> BTW - Thanks for your greate work. M2 is awesome!!!
