Some of this information is not up to date but it will explain a wee bit what I am trying to do. ;-) ...and http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/views.html > > "[HEADS-UP] fbits plugin is now org.apache.forrest.plugin.views", but > that seems a bit outdated. > Both plugins - org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.viewHelper - org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.view Contain information how the plugins work and what you can do with it. To see the docu just: cd $FORREST_TRUNK/whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.viewHelper ant local-deploy cd ../org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.view ant local-deploy Start with the view plugin docu: forrest run then read the viewHelper (if you would like to write your own contract): cd ../org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.viewHelper forrest run > Looking at the complexity of this, we'll probably have to offer an > ApacheCon tutorial for this plugin :-) > Hmm, I was trying to get a talk about it but I handed in the proposal one week late and since that day I have not heart a word from the organization (what I find awkward). Still not after writing three other mails to them. I will come to ApacheCon and sure I can give this tutorial. :) You may have a better contact to them because your proposal got accepted, you can ask whether I could do that. TIA P.S. To be honest I reckon I made it more complex then I had to (regarding the dev of the plugins) but for the user it is *easy*. ;-) (S)he has to only add (forrest.properties) project.skin=leather-dev project.required.plugins=org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.viewHelper,org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.view > -- > Ferdinand Soethe > salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
