Re: [M2] Insert variables in xdoc/apt files

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 04:30:20 -0700 

Alexander,
Until now, I've been successful at filtering the values, but no satisfying site is generated yet. 

I have this in my pom:

<resources>
        <resource>
                <directory>src/site/xdoc</directory>
                <targetPath>generated-site</targetPath>
                <filtering>true</filtering>
        </resource>
</resources>

When I edit the generated files, the variables have been replaced. For example:

<a href="xxx-${pom.version}.zip">asd</a>

is translated into:

<a href="xxx-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip">asd</a>

Here's the site-plugin config:
        
        <reporting>
          <plugins>
                <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
                        <configuration>
                                <xdocDirectory>
                                        /target/classes/generated-site
                                </xdocDirectory>
                        </configuration>
                </plugin>
        ....


The problem I have now is that, if I tell the site plug-in to use the generated 
xdocs, it says that file names clash.
I guess specifying the xdocDirectory doesn't prevent the plugin to search into the 
convention-based src/site/xdoc directory...


Can you try that and tell me if you have better results?

Hi,

If you are successful at doing that, could you post your solution?

Thanks,

ok, I'll try that.

Thanks!

filtering is the same as processing variables into their values.


What I'd do is create a folder where the unfiltered xdocs are placed, 
and then configure the resources plugin so that it will copy/filter 
those files to the folder that the assembly expects it to be.

Thanks for you answer, Edwin,


I don't really understand what's the common point between filtering 
files and inserting variables in xdoc files... To make a download 
page, I can surely make a filter, or just do so that the assembly 
plug-in copies the zip/tar files directly in the folder that the 
site will use as a download folder.



But if I want my download.xml xdoc file to make a link that 
automatically stays up to date by adding the right version number to 
the href, how do I do it?

You can probably use a filtering plugin like the resource plugin to 
filter your files before running the site goal.

Hi,


I've been battling with xdoc and apt files for some hours now, and 
looking around on the web, too: I haven't found any example of 
xdoc/apt file with variable insertions in them.



I don't imagine this could _not_ be possible with Maven 2... 
actually, I don't need anything complicated, just some kind of 
${project.version} variable that I could insert in a download 
link, for example.



Even in the Maven svn repository, people use xdoc or apt files 
without any variables.


Is it just impossible, or have I not searched enough?

Thanks :)

Sebastien
