[jira] Commented: (MSITE-159) Absolute URI rendered as relative URI if absolute URI related to domain of POM URI

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-159?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=130243#action_130243 ] 

Philip May commented on MSITE-159:
----------------------------------

This bug is realy ugly cause this way it's very difficult to have a sourceforge project site build by maven...
With a Sorceforge project you have to link to them...

>             Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin

> Under site-beta5 
> if the POM references a URI like 
>   <url>http://struts.apache.org</url>
> absolute URLs used in the site.xml file are converted to relative references. 
> For example a reference to to "http://struts.apache.org/1.x" becomes "1.x",  and a reference to
> just "http://struts.apache.org" becomes an empty string.  
> If the documentation is being used offline, there are many cases when we want to refer people back to the website, to be sure the current information is used. The best use case is a download page that determines the mirror via CGI. 
> Another use case is referring to a sister site in the domain, that might refer to another version. If used locally, the other site might not be in the relative location. 
> Switching back to beta4 cures the behavior, and absolute URIs remain absolute, as expected.
