             Summary: EOL page surprisingly links to current M3 plugins
                 Key: MNGSITE-365
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-365
             Project: Maven Project Web Site
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Paul Benedict
            Assignee: Paul Benedict


The EOL page has links on "Plugin" and "Version" columns. The former links to the current plugin sites; the second links to the last M2 versions, respectively.

An unsuspecting user (like me!) was clicking through the "Plugin" column, and didn't realize it was the current documentation. This is a small usability issue, but one I believe should be fixed. I am supporting ancient M2 stuff so I come to the page often. The links are too good of a trap.

Recommendation:
 # Set the "Plugin" links to their EOL versions.
 # Amend the "Plugin" values to include the V of the GAV (to make explicit the connection between the two columns). Example: {{clean:2.6.1}}
 # Remove the "Version" links.
