---------------------------------------

             Summary: Link to plugin's web site is reported as redirected by 
maven linkcheck plugin.
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1173
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1173
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Maven Surefire Plugin, Maven Surefire Report Plugin
    Affects Versions: 2.18.1
         Environment: checkstyle, maven linkcheck plugin
            Reporter: Andrei Selkin


Hello!

We use maven linkcheck plugin to check links on checkstyle's website: 
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/ . The plugin reports that on page 
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/plugins.html  the following link is 
redirected:
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin (301 Moved Permanently) 
at http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/ .

Links on plugins.html are generated by Apache Maven Project Info Reports 
Plugin. All URLs  are grabbed from effective POMs of plugins. 

Here is the code:

https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/report/projectinfo/PluginsReport.java#L239

https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/report/projectinfo/PluginsReport.java#L269

In effective POM of maven surefire plugin the problematic link is:
<url>http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin</url>

Should be:
<url>http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/
</url>

As a result, we do not have an ability to change plugins urls on that page, 
because those links are specified by plugins developers.

So, please correct the link.

Thank in advance!
