Hi, I think I found the problem in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/user%40forrest.apache.org/msg01750.html
*"So (to my knowledge) _all_ files referenced within a menu element in site.xml have to be in the same directory or also you will loose context when opening that file in a different directory."* Well.. in my site.xml, the "site:designPatterns" actually points to a file outside the "project/architecture/" folder and this means the context is lost when that link is clicked.
