             Summary: Distinguish 'active development branch' in SCM report from 'release tag'
                 Key: MPIR-254
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPIR-254
             Project: Maven 2.x Project Info Reports Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: scm
    Affects Versions: 2.5.1
            Reporter: Benson Margulies


There's a certain amount of chronic minor confusion caused by the SCM report for a released version. The release plugin puts the tag into both the user and developer urls, and the report reports them. This has the unfortunate effect of suggesting that the way to 'develop' is to check out the tag.

One might argue that this is, in fact, a release plugin issue; that it should leave the source branch (typically the trunk) in the developer URL and only mess with the other ones. Leaving that aside, it would be an improvement for the SCM reporter to be capable of clearly distinguishing 'this is the release tag' from 'here is where development is happening'. Since we can't add to the POM scm element easily, it would seem to be a job for plugin config.
