Description

**[Henning Schmiedehausen](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=henning)** opened **[MNG-7888](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7888?redirect=false)** and commented

The released poms contain `https://github.com/apache/maven-javadoc-plugin/tree/${project.scm.tag}`. As a result, tools that do not actively parse and resolve the pom can't display a valid URL but only show a link with the placeholder.

E.g. https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/3.4.1/maven-plugin

This seems to be a fundamental problem with the maven parent pom.

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Maven parent POM and the release configuration that produces the published POM, then compare it with the maven-javadoc-plugin 3.4.1 artifact cited in the issue. Done means released POM URLs no longer contain the ${project.scm.tag} placeholder for tools that do not resolve it.
