Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: MAVEN-943
    Summary: xref's misinterpretation of URL causes linkcheck exception
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Minor

 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: maven
 Components: 
             plugin-linkcheck
             plugin-jxr
   Versions:
             1.0-beta-10

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Charlie Dobbie

Description:
I have a source file (specifically JAXPTransletOneTransformation.java) that includes the Apache Software License in a comment.  It contains the following text:

 * 3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution,
 *    if any, must include the following acknowledgment:
 *       "This product includes software developed by the
 *        Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)."
 *    Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software itself,
 *    if and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.

The included link is interpreted by jxr as "http://www.apache.org/)."

Further down is the text:

 * This software consists of voluntary contributions made by many
 * individuals on behalf of the Apache Software Foundation and was
 * originally based on software copyright (c) 2001, Sun
 * Microsystems., http://www.sun.com.  For more
 * information on the Apache Software Foundation, please see
 * <http://www.apache.org/>.

This link is interpreted as "http://www.apache.org/>."

These then appear in the generated xref HTML as:

<a href="http://www.apache.org/)." target="alexandria_uri">http://www.apache.org/).</a>

and:

<a href="http://www.apache.org/&gt;." target="alexandria_uri">http://www.apache.org/&gt;.</a>

respectively, and thus cause linkcheck to log them as errors.  On the second URL linkcheck throws the exception:

maven-linkcheck-plugin:report-real:
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\Development\Workspace\uk.co.cmp1.expression.web\target\linkcheck
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\Development\Workspace\uk.co.cmp1.expression.web\target\linkcheck\docs
maven-linkcheck-plugin: Not using a proxy
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri 'http://www.apache.org/>.': escaped absolute path not valid
        at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.<init>(HttpMethodBase.java:285)
        at org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod.<init>(GetMethod.java:183)
        at org.apache.maven.linkcheck.validation.HTTPLinkValidator.validateLink(HTTPLinkValidator.java:134)
[...]

Which is a fair complaint! ;-)

Is there anything sensible that can be done about this?
