    Description

      Does anyone else find the site navigation for the Components confusing?

      In the left-hand side navigation panel, if you click on one of the Component links (like API, Implementation, ... Log4J Web) it takes you to a page where that component is not highlighted. Instead, Project Information > About (under Project Documentation) is highlighted. It took me a while to figure out that this is like a nested "project" site.

      I think it would be helpful if for all "nested project" pages, the selected Component would be highlighted as well as the selected Project Documentation link.

      So if you click on API, in the resulting page both the API link and the Project Information > About link would be highlighted in the left-hand navigation panel. Then if you choose for example Project Information > Dependencies, the API link would still be highlighted together with the Dependencies link.

      I think this would help users understand where they are in the site.

      Patch to follow soon.
