Plugins are not installed when calling forrest via Ant (forrest.build.xml:site)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FOR-547
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-547
Project: Forrest
Type: Bug
Components: Core operations
Versions: 0.7-dev
Environment: Windows XP, SP2
Ant 1.6.5
Forrest 0.7rc1
Reporter: Ron Blaschke
Priority: Minor
I have an Ant script, which imports forrest.build.xml. When calling the site
target with a missing plugin, the install fails. But "forrest init-plugins"
works fine. Also, using versioned plugins works, using the Ant script and
"forrest init-plugins"..
Here's the relevant conversation from forrest-dev.

Actually that is as expected. The {plugin.name} and {plugin.version}
values are set by a regexp looking for the the version number. Since
there is no version number in the plugin required the regexp fails and
so no value for the property. The rest of the script tries to get the
{versioned.name} plugin. If it fails it falls back to the unversioned
plugin.
This explains why the error message shows ${plugin.name}, I've changed
that to use the {versioned.name} so at least it will give a more
meaningful error.

This I don't understand. The bechaviour should be the same as above. The
relevant portion of the ANT script is at line 337 of targets/plugins.xml

I assume you get the same behaviour with simplifiedDocbook?

This looks like the behaviour expected.
