Description

Used by all the assembleXXXInheritance methods within assembleModelInheritance, the appendPath method assumes that its dealing with literal paths which is not a documented restriction. Thus having ${expressions} in any of the paths being operated on (e.g. project URL, distroManagement site, SCM, etc etc), the results will not be valid.

This whole area of Maven's core requires a specification so it can be coded too and maintained.
