Hi David,
I mean that you can use the "free" version of PrinceXML to generate the
Karaf PDF manual.
The Karaf PDF manual is "optional" as the first target is the HTML
version. If you don't use the manual profile, the manual won't be
generated (I mean it's not required for end-users build).
We already defined a manual profile to exclude the manual generation
from the normal build.

Are you saying that the karaf pdf manual is intended to be generated by
non-commercial-licensed prince xml? That is definitely still a licensed copy
of prince xml, and as I said, I don't think the license conditions would be ok
for distributing the result from apache.
I also don't think that running the build should require manually downloading a
commercial product. If there's some way to make it ok to distribute the manual
can we at least make it so that you need to specify a profile to generate the
pdf?
thanks

Hi David,
you can use PrinceXML without license:
"If this is a Non-commercial license, Licensee may download, install and use the
Software for Non-commercial Purposes on a computer that is accessible to any number of
end users."
You can download it from there:
http://www.princexml.com/download/7.1/
and just be sure that prince is in your PATH.

I can't get the manual generation to work. After removing some ant scripting
that was causing the build to fail, I got to an error saying
ERROR: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "prince":
error=2, No such file or directory
I looked online to find out about prince xml and found this on their license
page:
When the Non-commercial license is used to routinely generate documents, a
prominent link to the www.princexml.com Web site shall be displayed on the
pages from where the generated documents can be fetched, and in a prominent Web
page where business partners are listed. If PDF documents are sent as email
attachments by Licensee, all email messages must contain the www.princexml.com
Web address in the message body.
This looks to me unacceptable for use at apache. Does apache have a commercial
license? Does someone? Are there instructions somewhere?
It looks like html got generated ok, if there's some reason using prince xml is
ok can we make the pdf generation done in a profile?
thanks
