Glen Mazza commented on MNG-3190:
---------------------------------
Yes, I did see it--but the original report is from June! Does no one on the
Maven team really have the five-ten minutes to fix this problem? This is a
gratuitous pain to newbie developers just starting with Maven, and for
corporations debating their usage of this product, having dead links that don't
work on a vital introductory page reflect poorly on the product and how well it
is supported--it's like getting a resume filled with typos. It detracts from
whatever else you guys are working on further downstream.
You do developers no favor when you require them to have to explain to their
bosses, when trying to get them to approve Maven, "Oh, um, ignore the fact that
the hyperlinks at the top are dead--this is still a really well-maintained and
-supported product we can rely on."
I would supply a patch but I don't know the Maven source code, it would take me
10 times longer to fix. Regardless, I already contribute quite a bit to
incubating Apache CXF today--freeing up time for Dan Kulp to help out more on
Maven ;-)--so it is not cost-effective to have me studying Maven code at a cost
of contribution time to the CXF project. Anyway, I do hope the Maven team can
get this problem fixed soon.

Glen
