Tibor Digana closed SUREFIRE-1173.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Tibor Digana

The /components/ URL must not be visible to our users because it's an internal URL. The non-components page must be used.

Notice: content is in fact published to /components/ directory, and rewrite
rules in .htaccess detect files not found in main site to try /components/
content instead.

It's only a limitation we could not avoid that makes
http://maven.apache.org/surefire do a visible unwanted redirect to
http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/
but with http://maven.apache.org/surefire/ it's not visible: it's the intended
effect.

(and everything is necessary because of CMS staging feature, that we
workarounded previously with a extpaths.txt that took more than 15 minutes to execute: but with the new .htaccess trick, CMS publishing is as fast as expected = near immediate)

If the URL is redirected, please create JIRA issue in ASF INFRA team and try to advice them to fastforward to /components/ URL instead of redirecting.

> Hello!
> We use maven linkcheck plugin to check links on checkstyle's website: http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/ . The plugin reports that on page http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/plugins.html  the following link is redirected:
> http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin (301 Moved Permanently) at http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/ .
> Links on plugins.html are generated by Apache Maven Project Info Reports Plugin. All URLs  are grabbed from effective POMs of plugins. 
> Here is the code:
> https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/report/projectinfo/PluginsReport.java#L239
> https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/report/projectinfo/PluginsReport.java#L269
> In effective POM of maven surefire plugin the problematic link is:
> <url>http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin</url>
> Should be:
> <url>http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/</url>
> As a result, we do not have an ability to change plugins urls on that page, because those links are specified by plugins developers.
> So, please correct the link, because there are contradictions between linkcheck and maven surefire plugin.
> Thank in advance!
