Docs are not updated if only site.xml changed
---------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-177
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-177
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5
Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller
If I update site.xml (e.g. add new menu-items) and regenerate my existing site,
the index gets updated but other existing pages are not rebuild and therefore
show the menus in the state before the site.xml has changed (so new menus are
missing). This causes a confusing site where menus appear and disappear while
surfing.
I only use xdos (and they are in a subfolder) so I can not tell if this happens
with apt as well. I reproduced the problem with "mvn site" and "mvn site:stage".
As a workaround I can delete the old site before building. Since I stage the
site directly to the final destination on the local machine where it is served
this is not very suitable because then the site is broken until it is
completely rebuild.
If you consider to fix this issue please beware that site.xml can inherit stuff
in multiproject envronments.
So it is unclear if the optimization to only re-generate if something has
changed makes sense at all. It might be quite complicated to determine this -
the question is how much time is saved by this at all.
