> Key: MSITE-514
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-514
> Project: Maven Site Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-2
> Reporter: Andrew Hughes
>
> Hi Guys,
> Have an idea, but I wouldn't know where to get started on this... besides I
> think this is more than a one person job. Just like we have reporting plugins
> and the project-info reports, I think a "project documents" site plugin would
> be an excellent idea.
> Purpose:
> The primary purpose is to provide easy integration of non apt, xdoc...
> formatted documents into maven sites.
> Objectives:
> The primary objective should be to create a menu on the site that lists all
> of the discovered documents in the project source.
> Example (that extents the normal "Project Documentation" menu.
> * Project Documentation
> ** Project Information
> *** Continuous Integration
> *** Issue Tracking
> *** Project Team
> *** Source Repository
> ** Project Reports
> *** Maven Surefire Report
> *** Other Report
> ** Documents <- NEW name TDB, clicking on this should open a page with a
> table of all documents with their harvested metadata.
> *** Acme Project SRS (doc) <- New, showing a harvested word document.. the
> link title is the document title
> *** Contract (pdf) <- New, showing a harvested pdf document.
> *** Estimates (xls) <- New, an excel spreadsheet
> *** Risk Register (xls) <- New, another excel spreadsheet.
> The index page's could hopefully gather enuff metadata about the documents to
> create something that looks like...
> ||Title||Filename||Format||Author||Last Modified||Last Mofified By||
> |Acme Project SRS| APD-ACME-SRS.doc|doc|John Smith|14-10-2010|A Hughes|
> |Contact| APC-ACME-CONTACT-23489345.pdf|pdf|N/A|22-02-2010|N/A|
> |Estimates| APE-ACME-Estimates.xls|xls|A Schwarzenegger|22-02-2010|JP Freely|
> Implementation:
> I got very little idea how this kinda thing could be integrated into the
> site. From menu creation, velocity templates e.t.c... sorry I am quite
> useless. I do know that we have things like http://poi.apache.org/ to help
> gather meta data about microsoft documents, and similarly pdf is available.
> LaTex or other formats hopefully have similar API's.
> Configuration:
> I'd think that the pom config might help define how this could work.. what
> options and functionality it would/could potentially offer...
> {noformat}
> <plugin>
> ...ommitting normal stuff...
> <configuration>
> <resources>
> <resource>
> <!-- override the default of
> ./src/site/resources -->
> <directory>${basedir}/documents</directory>
> <!-- override the default of what files to
> include -->
> <includes>
> <include>**.doc</include>
> <include>**.xls</include>
> </includes>
> </resource>
> </resources>
> <!-- override the default label shown on the menu -->
> <menuTitle>Documentz</menuTitle>
> <!-- select the metaData harvested from documents to show on
> the index page -->
>
> <metaData>title,version,author,lastModifiedBy,lastModifiedData</metaData>
> </configuration>
> <plugin>
> {noformat}
> What do you think, is this a practical idea? is this achievable and how much
> work would be involved?
> CHEERS :)
