Hi all and a happy new year, after having „threatened“ you all on the list for several times, I just took the time to update the versions to the latest versions of all tools again and to merge my feature branch back to master. After all you had about one quarter of a year to review my changes … so I guess everyone had a chance ;-)
Now let me explain a little what has changed with this. First of all instead of copying a template project and building your presentations, now there is an archetype which will setup a new presentation with examples for you. Simply with this command you’ll be able to create a new presentation: mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.training -DarchetypeArtifactId=content-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT Second the pom of this is extremely simplified as it uses a newly created parent pom which defines all the complicated stuff … a new presentation pom now looks like this: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>org.apache.training</groupId> <artifactId>content-master-pom</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <!-- Required in our case as per http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/maven.html#class_parent --> </parent> <artifactId>hurz</artifactId> <groupId>hurz</groupId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>war</packaging> <name>Training: Tools: Slide Template: Asciidoc to reveal.js Maven hurz</name> <description>An hurz project that demonstrates how to integrate convert Asciidoc to a reveal.js presentation with the Asciidoctor Maven plugin.</description> </project> Also have I created a third artifact: content-master-resources which contains all shared static resources we need to build presentations. I think with these changes building presentations will become a lot simpler. Hope you like it. Chris
