Description

A lot of old Maven pages are visible and some of these pages are grossly out of date and misleading.
See below for a list of old pages after running $ find . -mtime +365 -type f -name "*"

./repository-manager/*
./project-summary.html
./quotes.txt

Notes:

  • voluntarily, I did not list subprojects like plugins. Release managers could clean them.
  • some directories like continuum use redirection

Issue Links

relates to

Improvement - An improvement or enhancement to an existing feature or task. MNGSITE-12 Ancient documentation is confusing users.

  • Minor - Minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present.
  • Open - The issue is open and ready for the assignee to start work on it.

I looked through ./developers/* and everything can now be found in other places. Either under ./maven-1.x/... or under ./guides/development/... or /developers/release/...

I suggest we simply remove them.

Concerning

./maven-v3_0_0.xsd
./maven-v4_0_0.xsd

googling for "http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd" reveals numerous hits, among others the Maven FAQ. That is to say, I guess many POMs might point to these schemas instead of the ones at "./xsd/". Will the XML tools/IDEs used by people fail gracefully if they can't the XSD when it's deleted?

Agree with you.
Maybe we could do an Apache redirection for these files since ./xsd/* is the wanted target.

Some old files are still presents:

$ find . -mtime +365 -type f -name "*"  | grep -v ./css/ | grep -v ./images/ | grep -v ./dtd/ | grep -v ./doxia/ | grep -v ./jxr/ | grep -v ./embedder/ | grep -v ./maven-1.x/ | grep -v ./plugins/ | grep -v ./maven-release/ | grep -v ./ref/ | grep -v ./scm/ | grep -v ./shared/ | grep -v ./surefire/ | grep -v ./xsd/  | grep -v ./wagon/ | grep -v ./sandbox/ | grep -v ./plugins-sandbox/
./favicon.ico
./gen_todos.sh
./maven-eclipse-plugin-cla.pdf
./maven-navigation-1.0.xsd

FYI I have a copy of the maven.apache.org dir so ping me if you want to rollback some files.
