Robert Burrell Donkin commented on MSITE-159:
---------------------------------------------
Introducing buggy URL rewriting code just because some Maven users don't
understand URLs is a poor design choice.
> Absolute URI rendered as relative URI if absolute URI related to domain of
> POM URI
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSITE-159
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-159
> Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: relative links
> Reporter: Ted Husted
>
> Under site-beta5
> if the POM references a URI like
> <url>http://struts.apache.org</url>
> absolute URLs used in the site.xml file are converted to relative references.
> For example a reference to to "http://struts.apache.org/1.x"; becomes "1.x",
> and a reference to
> just "http://struts.apache.org"; becomes an empty string.
> If the documentation is being used offline, there are many cases when we want
> to refer people back to the website, to be sure the current information is
> used. The best use case is a download page that determines the mirror via
> CGI.
> Another use case is referring to a sister site in the domain, that might
> refer to another version. If used locally, the other site might not be in the
> relative location.
> Switching back to beta4 cures the behavior, and absolute URIs remain
> absolute, as expected.
