Do not use project.url for relativ link resolution
--------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-535
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-535
Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: doxia integration, inheritance, relative links
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Lukas Theussl
IMO distributionManagement.site.url should be used instead. Imagine a
multi-module site with a distributionManagement url that points to the local
file system. A local deploy will move any child sites to sub-directories of the
parent (by default), but if you forget to adjust the project urls for all
children, the relative links are all wrong because they are calculated from the
project urls. There are numerous examples and JIRAs where people are confused
about this. Having to specify a url for each single child project is a
duplicate information and is also logically not necessary. Note that the
distributionManagement url always exists (otherwise the deploy will fail),
while the project url is optional. IMO the project url should not be used for
the local site generation at all, it is just a piece of user information.
