Hi Luca,

This Luca fellow's got it a bit wrong; it's not really a bug or feature
(perhaps 'limitation' might work..).

The root problem is that the sitemap doesn't know how to serve the
resource 'geoid-0.1.0.jar'.  The default sitemap allows you to put raw
content files into src/documentation/content/, from where they'll be
served without a prefix.  So if you have
src/documentation/content/geoid-0.1.0.jar, then index.html could have
<link href="geoid-0.1.0.jar">geoid</link>, and everything should work.
The seed project ('forrest seed') has an example of this.

HTH,

--Jeff
