Body:
Committed some changes to the linkchecker such that it won't unexpectedly NPE when
reading invalid urls (or just odd urls).
This won't resolve the issue with JXR, but it should go some of the way to allowing
linkcheck to run sensibly (which is an accomplishment if it occurs!)

Key: MAVEN-943
Summary: xref's misinterpretation of URL causes linkcheck exception
Type: Bug
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Minor
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown
Project: maven
Components:
plugin-linkcheck
plugin-jxr
Versions:
1.0-beta-10

Description:
I have a source file (specifically JAXPTransletOneTransformation.java) that includes
the Apache Software License in a comment. It contains the following text:
* 3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution,
* if any, must include the following acknowledgment:
* "This product includes software developed by the
* Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)."
* Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software itself,
* if and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.
The included link is interpreted by jxr as "http://www.apache.org/)."
Further down is the text:
* This software consists of voluntary contributions made by many
* individuals on behalf of the Apache Software Foundation and was
* originally based on software copyright (c) 2001, Sun
* Microsystems., http://www.sun.com. For more
* information on the Apache Software Foundation, please see
* <http://www.apache.org/>.
This link is interpreted as "http://www.apache.org/>."
These then appear in the generated xref HTML as:
<a href="http://www.apache.org/)." target="alexandria_uri">http://www.apache.org/).</a>
and:
<a href="http://www.apache.org/>."
target="alexandria_uri">http://www.apache.org/>.</a>
respectively, and thus cause linkcheck to log them as errors. On the second URL
linkcheck throws the exception:
maven-linkcheck-plugin:report-real:
[mkdir] Created dir:
C:\Development\Workspace\uk.co.cmp1.expression.web\target\linkcheck
[mkdir] Created dir:

at
org.apache.maven.linkcheck.validation.HTTPLinkValidator.validateLink(HTTPLinkValidator.java:134)
[...]
Which is a fair complaint! ;-)
Is there anything sensible that can be done about this?
