Description

Maven use of CMS's extpaths.txt (with hundreds of entries) made the CMS publication from staging to production really slow

a new better strategy has been found to mix site content with components documentation, now based on publishing these 2 parts in 2 different locations and create .htaccess rewrite rule to mix the 2

this was:

• explaned on maven-dev ML in http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-dev/201503.mbox/%3C1757469.VDPVErWv7t%40herve-desktop%3E
• implementation started on 1 component in r1669973, then a whole bunch of components were moved in 1670205, then extpaths.txt was fully removed in r1670223 (notice: components poms were updated accordingly)
• documented in r1670224, updating documentation on website publication

the change has to be done in Maven parent POM too to have consistent deployment: a component which uses the new deployment location but with a parent which stays still at previous location will have relative path calculation issues
