Hi,

There is a discussion at infra about deprecating CMS (no decision yet).
That lead to a discussion about features of CMS. And one feature is key to 
Maven, but not really easy to use: extpaths.txt, which permits to mix Maven 
main site with components reference documentation. With the problem that when 
you forget to add a new path to extpaths.txt, content mysteriously disappears 
when publishing site (and it has a consequence on site publication performance 
too).

Working with infra team, we found a more "classical" solution than the CMS's 
extpaths.txt:
- putting components documentation in /components [1]
- creating a generic rewrite rule that rewrites to /components when the doc is 
not found in /

I started the migration in the site, the components configuration and 
documentation update: the only change is that svnpubsub url for components 
will be 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/components/
instead of
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/


Please report if anything seems wrong

Regards,

Hervé
