Description

The attached zip is a complete multi-module build with the bug exposed. Run using "mvn clean site site:stage" to reproduce.

What is observed is that the navigation hyperlinks in the top left (added by the site plugin) are correctly defined as "target/staging/og-timeseries/index.html", whereas the hyperlinks in the middle of index.html and modules.html are incorrectly defined as "target/staging/projects/og-timeseries/index.html" - note the incorrect extra "projects".

The problem will occur because the child projects in the multi-module build are not immediate children of the parent/aggregator. Instead the structure is:

platform
 - pom.xml
 - projects
   - og-timeseries
     - pom.xml

The extra layer is being handled by the site plugin (by referring to the "distributionManagement.site.url"). It is not handled by this plugin.

As a side note, if "distributionManagement.site.url" is NOT set in the child projects, then the site will build consistently using "target/staging/projects/og-timeseries/index.html" everywhere.

This is no doubt related to MPIR-273.
