I still get the SourceExecption after I cleaned up all of the broken link
messages, except for the one "cocoon://index.html", which I cannot find the
source for.  I actually had this problem in my own Forrest site where I know
that I have no broken links, but I re-produced it in fresh-site just to make
sure it wasn't caused by my other modifications.  Plus, I'm getting the Java
exception trace, not just the standard broken link message.

I don't think this is a bug. There are other links to index.html in the 
fresh-site and so Forrest is trying to render it (see 
samples/usemap.xml). I have not tested it, perhaps you could do that for 
me, but if you change *all* references to index.* in fresh-site then 
this should go away.

To see what pages are linking to the missing file look at 
project_home/build/tmp/brokenlinks.xml
