             Summary: Add URLs to Maven pom files
                 Key: DERBY-6866
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6866
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build tools
            Reporter: Bindul Bhowmik
            Priority: Minor


Maven POMs have a <url> element, which is optional, but if not present Maven 
automatically calculates the URL using the parent project POM's URL and adding 
/${project.artifactId}.

The current Maven POMs in the Derby source only has a URL defined in the parent 
POM ({{./maven2/pom.xml}}), but not in the other POMs. So, for any module of 
the project, the generated URLs are invalid.

For, example, if you run the following in the {{./maven2/client}} directory the 
URL is incorrect:
{code}
:~/projects/apache/svn/derby-code/maven2/client$ mvn help:effective-pom | grep 
'^  <url>'
  <url>http://db.apache.org/derby/derbyclient/</url>
{code}

This information is also used by the Maven Project Info Report plugin to 
generate the {{Dependencies}} report and the generated site causes {{404}} 
errors. For example, see 
http://www.deventropy.org/junit-helper/junit-helper-derby/dependencies.html#compile.

The attached patch adds the URL element to all the POMs.
