Edwin Punzalan commented on MPLUGIN-7: -------------------------------------- Hervé, How was your work here? any progress? Anyway, the suggestion is to make the page more like the page in maven's project descriptor... where the items are listed on a section and the their details are tabled somewhere below it. And I don't think that you'll need to use the Multipage report for that as they're in one page. I would like to work on this right now, but when I imagine a page with plugin parameters listed and their detail table below, I feel like I only made it uglier. Is that really what we want this page to look like ? > Reformat the autogenerated goal parameters page to improve readibility. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MPLUGIN-7 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-7 > Project: Maven 2.x Plugin Plugin > Type: Improvement > Environment: any, jdk 1.4.2_06 > Reporter: Corridor Software Developer > Priority: Minor > > Original Estimate: 8 hours > Remaining: 8 hours > > The goal plugin:xdoc creates a table describing the parameters for a plugin. > An example may be found here: > http://mojo.codehaus.org/xmlbeans-maven-plugin/xmlbeans-mojo.html > In the example, notice that the nowrap on the type, expression and > default-value columns causes the descriptions to be crammed into the right > side of the page. > So rather than having these values in their own columns, position them in > rows below the parameter as is done in the maven-model documentation for the > project descriptor. This way the fields don't compete for space across the > page: > http://maven.apache.org/maven2/maven-model/maven.html > What's more, the inclusion of hyperlinked xml at the top of the page > describing the configuration section of the plugin would benefit the end user > without manual effort of the plugin developer. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
