Downloads page

[Michael Schuerig <mi...@schuerig.de>]

When maven.xdoc.distributionUrl is defined and there are version defined 
in project.xml, then the xdoc plugin generates a downloads page. There 
are a couple of things about it that I don't understand or where I'm 
unsure.

- How is maven.xdoc.distributionUrl related to the 
distributionSite/distributionDirectory elements in the POM?

- I've set up a maven repository at my site. Links from the downloads 
page should point there. Do I really have to set 
maven.xdoc.distributionUrl to point to the directory where the artifact 
should go?

- For human consumption it is pretty pointless to provide only links to 
"naked" jars without javadocs and source on the downloads page. I get 
the impression, that I'm trying to use that page for something it 
wasn't made for.

The details:

project.xml:
<groupId>msutils</groupId>
<artifactId>msutils</artifactId>
<distributionSite>http://www.schuerig.de/maven</distributionSite>

project.properties:
maven.xdoc.distributionUrl=http://www.schuerig.de/maven/msutils
