make site:stage a local file deploy
-----------------------------------
Key: MSITE-533
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-533
Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: site:deploy
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Lukas Theussl
As I understand it, site:stage is supposed to be a local preview of
site:deploy. However, the site construction is very different in both cases:
site:stage changes the <url> pom element of each project and generates the site
directly at the target location. Unfortunately, this suffers from a couple of
bugs, in particular regarding relative links in multi-module builds, which is
potentially confusing for users (and certain developers...) if they find that
the staged site is different from the deployed site. site:deploy OTOH generates
each site at its own target location and then uses wagen to copy the single
sites to the final destination.
Since site:deploy supports a local file copy, I propose to replace site:stage
by such a local deploy. This would make site:stage and deploy equivalent,
reduce confusion and maintenance efforts and make site:stage a true preview per
definition. Are there any arguments that speak against it?
