Use a symetric directory layout (default locale is not on root directory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-434
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-434
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.0.1
Environment: any ?
Reporter: Tony Chemit
Abstract
--------
Make possible to break to default locale directory layout (adding a parameter
symetricLayout)
Actually, when using two locales (en,fr) to generate site, the source directory
layout is like this (symetricLayout=false) :
src/site/
|-- apt
| `-- index.apt
|-- fr
| `-- apt
| `-- index.apt
|-- site_en.xml
`-- site_fr.xml
And it generates like this :
target/site/
|-- index.html
`-- fr
`-- index.html
With the parameter symetricLayout=true, the source directory layout is like
this :
src/site/
|-- en
| `-- apt
| `-- index.apt
|-- fr
| `-- rst
| `-- index.apt
|-- site_en.xml
`-- site_fr.xml
And it generates this :
target/site/
|-- en
| `-- index.html
`-- fr
`-- index.html
By default the parameter symetricLayout is to false (so nothing is changing :)).
Note
----
when using a single locale, the symetricLayout should always be to false.
Why doing this ?
----------------
We are developping a tool to edit (as a wiki) the generated site and store the
changed directly in the svn of the project (Each night the site should be
regenerated).
The purpose of this tools is to make possible external users (mainly our
clients with credential on svn of course) to improve the documentation of their
application without our help.
Using a symetric layout without distinguish a default locale is a lot easier
for us.
Hope the patch will be accepted :)
Tony.
