Currently, that > information is not available directly. > The NAR maven plugin should be updated to provide a list of extensions and > for each one, provide at least the following minimal information: > * Extension Type > * Extension Name > * Capability Description > * Whether or not the component is Restricted, "sub-restrictions" it has, and > explanations of both > * Any Tags that the component has > * If the component is a Controller Service, any Controller Service API's > that it provides > Additionally, it would be ideal to provide all documentation for the > component within the NAR. It is best, though, not to write the documentation > in HTML as is done now but rather in XML or some sort of form that provides > the information in a structured way without any styling. This would allow the > documentation to be rendered consistently, even if the styling changes from 1 > version to the next. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
