The index.xml fix (removing the broken maven-configuration.html link) is correct — confirmed HTTP 404 on the live site.
However, the site.xml changes comment out 14 navigation links that all resolve successfully (HTTP 200) on the live Maven site (https://maven.apache.org/ref/4-LATEST/). These Reference links were deliberately fixed just weeks ago by a Maven PMC member (commit 60bc6e4). Commenting them out would degrade documentation navigation for users.
Verified issues:
- All 7 Descriptors Reference links work — POM, Settings, Toolchains, Core Extensions, Repository Metadata, Plugin Descriptor, Lifecycle Descriptor all return HTTP 200 under
api/. - All 5 Reference links work — Lifecycles, Plugin Bindings, Artifact Handlers, CLI options, Super POM all return HTTP 200 under
impl/andcompat/. - Both Development links work — Maven Developer Centre and Core ITs both return HTTP 200.
- The added comment "API documentation must be built separately with javadoc:javadoc" is inaccurate — these are Modello-generated descriptor pages (from
.mdomodel files), not Javadoc. - The PR body references "Fixes #1, #2, #3, #9" but those are unrelated, long-closed issues from 2013.
Suggestion: Keep the index.xml fix for the broken maven-configuration.html link, but drop all site.xml changes since the links work on the live site.

The new commits did not address our previous feedback. The core issue remains:
14 valid navigation links are still being commented out in site.xml, but all return HTTP 200 on the live site:
- 7 Descriptors Reference links (POM, Settings, Toolchains, Core Extensions, Repository Metadata, Plugin Descriptor, Lifecycle Descriptor) — all verified HTTP 200 at
https://maven.apache.org/ref/4-LATEST/api/ - 5 Reference links (Lifecycles, Plugin Bindings, Artifact Handlers, CLI options, Super POM) — all verified HTTP 200; these paths were specifically corrected by commit 60bc6e4 (Hervé Boutemy, 2026-06-16) just 6 weeks ago
- 2 Development links (Maven Developer Centre, Maven Core ITs) — both verified HTTP 200
The only correct change is removing the broken maven-configuration.html link in index.xml (confirmed HTTP 404).
Recommendation: Keep the index.xml fix, revert all site.xml changes. The comment text "API documentation must be built separately with javadoc:javadoc" does not justify removing working navigation from the published site.

perhaps core-its require update, need to figure out
but developers link is useful (and yes, outside: that's intended)
