<links> item hrefs not relativised properly when inherited by child modules
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-423
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-423
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: relative links
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: Linux, JDK 1.6.0_07, Maven 2.1.0
Reporter: Robert Davey
Attachments: site-plugin_link-problem.tar.gz
See attachment for reproducible minimal case.
I have a multi-module project, for the sake of argument laid out thus:
* parent
** pom.xml
* module1
** pom.xml
** src/site/site.xml
** apt/index.apt
** submodule1
*** pom.xml
*** src/site/site.xml
*** apt/index.apt
I specify some links in our parent POM that I want to be inherited by all child
multi-modules. I would hope these links would always point to the relevant
html files in the super parent project for all children, no matter the nesting
level.
<links>
<item name="Home" href="/index.html"/>
<item name="Getting Started" href="/getting-started.html"/>
<item name="Documentation" href="/documentation.html"/>
</links>
These links work fine for the super parent menu. The same problem, outlined
below, is apparent whether the links are prefixed by "/" or "./"
When navigating down to module1, all the href links become:
../module1
Navigating again down to submodule1 of module1, the links become (or something
equally wacky):
../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../submodule1
All the pom.xml files in each module refer to the staged url correctly, and
these don't seem to make any difference to the eventual href whatsoever... e.g.
parent: <url>http://server/</url>
module1: <url>http://server/module1</url>
submodule1: <url>http://server/module1/submodule1</url>
