This is a good question.

Normally, I'd look at the jira project which would link back to the Maven
project web pages.

The summary jira page
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel
doesn't describe MNG components well enough to find them.

The summary pages for each component doesn't link to a Maven project web
page.

If you select any issue, and then its Activity tab, you might get lucky and
get a Hudson notification.
And in the Hudson job you can find the git url in the Git Polling Log page.

In this case https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git which is all
Maven Core.

I'm behind an NTLM firewall at work so I've avoided working with git and
Maven.
Hopefully someone else can provide an answer, and then we can update the
documentation to better reflect that.

Hello,

I have a question. I am trying to use Git in order to work with the source
code in the Maven Respository. When I find a Maven project issue on JIRA,
how do I determine which GitHub repository to make a fork of?

>From my understanding, https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git is
the location of the main git repository for Maven, but there is also a
separate repository for the integration tests for the Maven core (https:
//git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven-integration-testing.git), as well
as other components (Archetype, Indexer, Plugin Testing, SCM, Surefire, and
Wagon).

For example, one of the open JIRA issues that I am interested in working on
has the following components listed: Embedding
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325608>, General
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325623>, Logging
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325605>,Performance
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325616>, Reactor and
workspace <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG/component/12325615>.
There are two other issues that I am interested in; one displays
"Dependencies" after "Component/s", while the other displays "None."

I would also like to know whether the "Affects Version/s" section is
important. I am using Maven 3.3.3 on my machine. Is it important to use a
version of Maven that closely matches the affected version?
