    Description

      Hello!

      We use maven linkcheck plugin to check links on checkstyle's website: http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/ . The plugin reports that on page http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/plugins.html the following link is redirected:
      http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin (301 Moved Permanently) at http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/ .

      Links on plugins.html are generated by Apache Maven Project Info Reports Plugin. All URLs are grabbed from effective POMs of plugins.

      Here is the code:

      https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/report/projectinfo/PluginsReport.java#L239

      https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/report/projectinfo/PluginsReport.java#L269

      In effective POM of maven surefire plugin the problematic link is:
      <url>http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin</url>

      Should be:
      <url>http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/</url>

      As a result, we do not have an ability to change plugins urls on that page, because those links are specified by plugins developers.

      So, please correct the link, because there are contradictions between linkcheck and maven surefire plugin.

      Thank in advance!
