It’s used for the Web Access part of the Source Repository page in Maven-generated sites. See for example this page: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/source-repository.html
The corresponding pom file is obviously here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/plugins/tags/maven-compiler-plugin-2.3.2/pom.xml?view=co&revision=992608&content-type=text%2Fplain
