Ability to view how the site would look without generating the entire site --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-933 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-933 Project: Maven 2 Type: New Feature Components: design Reporter: Arik Kfir Priority: Minor It would be nice to be able to run something like "m2 site:run" which would start a process that serves the site dynamically. If you know Apache Forrest, its similar to "forrest run" (as opposed to "forrest site" - which is like "m2 site:site"). The use case here, is that when writing documentation, it is frustrating to having to generate the entire site every time you make a change - if you simply want to preview the results. A better approach would be a Jetty (or Tomcat?) process that receives the request from a browser, and generates the content lazily. It would make writing m2-style docs a breeze. In Maven 1 it would have been almost impossible, but with m2 - it might be possible. The only caveat I see here is having to know what report to run against each URL. The only way I see to solve this is having reports expose (via annotations?) the list of files they generate, but that has disadvantages as well. Non-the-less - this would be a killer helper plugin. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
