Andreas Sewe reopened MNG-4878:
-------------------------------


I'm sorry, but I disagree with the assessment that this issue is a duplicate of MNG-4508. It's not really about being able to suppress the addition of the artifactId to URLs; rather, it's about a case (which just happens to involve URLs) where the use of *aggregation* changes the way *inheritance* works. As far as I understand it (see, e.g., the POM reference at http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Inheritance_v) inheritance and aggregation are meant to be _orthogonal_ language features; using one shouldn't change the behaviour of the other.

> AFAIK, inheritance and aggregation are orthogonal in Maven. Whether a child project is a module of its parent, however, affects how URLs are inherited. (This bug affects {{/project/url}}, {{/project/distributionManagement/site/url}}, {{/project/scm/connection}}, {{/project/scm/developerConnection}}, and {{/project/scm/url}}.)
> This is exemplified by the attached projects, which serve as a testcase. The aggregated child project does respect the trailing slash of its parent's URLs and thus does not append its own {{artifactId}} to the URLs. The non-aggregated child, however, does _not_ respect the trailing slash; consequently, its {{artifactId}} is added erroneously: A {{/project/url}} of http://www.example.org/projects/${project.artifactId}/ is turned into http://www.example.org/projects/non-aggregated-child/non-aggregated-child/ in the *non-aggregated* child project, whereas it becomes http://www.example.org/projects/aggregated-child/ in the *aggregated* child project. (Note that both projects are children of the same parent project.)
