Christian Schulte updated MSITE-659:
------------------------------------
Attachment: MSITE-659-absolute.zip
Another example project demonstrating the issue. Unzip and execute 'mvn site'.
Open 'target/site/index.html' from the parent project in a browser. The 'Inside
Parent Jar' link got relativized correctly - that link is working ok at the
deployed location and also inside the parent jar file. Now open the
'child/target/site/index.html' from the child project in a browser. The
inherited 'Inside Parent Jar' link got relativized correctly but that link only
works when actually deployed to a web server. It is not working inside the jar
where it should be an absolute link. Absolute link in the jar - relative link
in the deployed web site. Now repeat the above with the
'relativizeDecorationLinks' parameter set to 'false' (mvn clean site
-DrelativizeDecorationLinks=false). The 'Inside Parent Jar' link in the
'target/site/index.html' from the parent site now is kept absolute. This is
kind of useless in the parent site jar and in the deployed web site. That same
link in the 'child/target/site/index.html' from the child site is absolute in
the child. That link now is working in the child site jar file (when unzipped
and used locally) but is again kind of useless in the deployed web site.
To sum this up. There is nothing wrong with the 'relativizeDecorationLinks'
feature when building a web-site you are actually going to deploy somewhere.
The problem is when building a jar for use locally. Relative links pointing
outside the jar file will not work there and need to be kept absolute and
absolute links which are pointing to content inside the jar file should be
relative otherwise the jar is quite useless.
> 'relativizeDecorationLinks' relativizes too much.
