Description
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 not found (404):
http://www.antlr.org/antlr4-maven-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.xml of maven antlr4 plugin the problematic link is:
http://www.antlr.org/antlr4-maven-plugin
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 antlr4 plugin.
Thank in advance!
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inspecting the effective POM for the ANTLR4 Maven plugin and the plugin URL consumed by the Maven Project Info Reports Plugin at PluginsReport.java lines 239 and 269. Update the incorrect URL, then verify that the generated plugins.html link no longer returns 404.
