Olivier Lamy commented on MNG-2410: ----------------------------------- Hi, I would like to add some comments on this. First : sorry if it looks stupid, I'm just a user and not very familiar with all maven apis. But "I have a dream" :-) I would like to generate some pdf files in my mojo report (for legacy reason I need to send pdf files to company/partners how use our apis and I can't expose our maven site in public www. Actually I do this with forrest) For this I image something like SinkFactory.newSink(FileWriter, String role-hint). Using sinkFactory.newSink(FileWriter, "pdf"). SinkFactory could be a component (trouble will break backward compatibilty with changing class to interface) with this could be easily reused Or what I want as role, this could be injected by plexus ? (like text, html etc...) For better use this could be sinkFactory.newSink(FileWriter, String role-hint, Artifact skin, Properties). I think skin is defined as an artifact ? pros : - users can easily defined their own way to write documentation - probably could use be in site generation (<item name="" href="" generatePdf="true"/> this generate pdf file and add a simple link to it in the html view. cons : - nothing :-) - As I'm not familiar with doxia apis I can't image all jobs to do It's just a user idea, you can add comment and explain to me why it's crasy or give some pointers to explain how it's possible to do this -- Olivier > adding a method in AbstractMavenReport to obtain newSink() > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2410 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2410 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: New Feature > Components: Sites & Reporting > Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: all > Reporter: Olivier Lamy > > > Actually when extending AbstractMavenReport, I can get a Sink for write only > one page. > For report, I need to create some pages. > I like to have a new method called newSink(FileWriter) to write some other > pages. > Or could we have a SinkFactory object injected in AbstractMavenReport ? > Note, I need a Sink with the current site skin. > Thanks, > -- > Olivier -- 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
