I think this is really a design decision. Although in my eyes a faulty one. Maven just assumes, that the location of the site generated by maven should always be the projects main site (specified in the pom as projecturl ) As mentioned above, there are legitime cases where this is not true.

You are right: the internal references of the generated site should work wherever its build. Thats why the url's should be relative there. BUT: in the example above the point to use an absolute url is, that it refers to an EXTERNAL resource (https://bla.mycomp.nl/docs). Since this resource happens to have the same base url than the site deployment url, maven thinks that it should be treated as relative. I agree with Ramon, that maven should not override well established conventions here just to correct wrong configuration (people using absolute url's in the site descriptors where they should use relatives). Also I did not say that the project's main site url should be relative. What would the configuration option be here? 'interpret ALL absolute url's with the same base-url as the site root as relative url's' ? Correct me if I didn't get what you commented.

Well yes but also not really, a project's URL is absolute as it is its published external web address accessible from anywhere. I can depend on your project and will want to link to it and will need this to see your site. If you made your sub-modules use explicitly defined relative URLs then they would never be accessible to anyone other than your related site pages (ie parent/children). We find it easier to generate our offline docs using relatives as well via the site:stage mojo - this lets us create a completely self referential site without having the browser try and jump online all the time.
