What is the <url> http://maven.apache.org </url> "tag in a project tag in pom.xml?

For some time I have been using a dependency management tool like Maven. I could not understand what the url tag in pom.xml is for in the project tag.

<project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId> <artifactId>my-app</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <name>Maven Quick Start Archetype</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> ... </dependencies> </project>

from the documentation ( http://maven.apache.org/pom.html ):

url: URL, like name, is not required. This is a good gesture for users of projects, however, so that they know where the lives.url project is: a URL, like a name, is not required. This is a nice gesture for users of projects, however, so that they know where the life of the project is.
