Andy Jefferson updated JDO-537:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: xdocs.zip

Current working set of files for "/jdo/site/". Note that the previous "lib" and 
"build.xml" aren't needed with this process. Simply type "maven site" and the 
docs are built under target/docs. Still need to then copy them into "docs" for 
consistency with the current process of putting the site onto Apache

> Upgrade Apache JDO site to encompass user-level documentation/guides etc

> The Apache JDO site is good as far as it goes, but is typically at a 
> developer level. The vast majority of users don't read the JDO specification, 
> and certainly not in any detail. It would benefit from a revamp to take on 
> user-level docs describing basic JDO terminology such as PersistenceManager, 
> PersistenceManagerFactory, JDOQL, Extents etc etc. In addition some simple 
> worked examples would aid uptake. The JPOX site already has a selection of 
> such docs at
> http://www.jpox.org/docs/jdo/jdo_overview.html
> and they could be moved across.
> The current site is generated using Anakia, but would likely be more 
> extensible and cleaner using Maven1 site/xdoc plugins. As a demonstration of 
> this, there is an initial Maven1 version of the Apache JDO site at
> http://www.jpox.org/apachejdo/index.html
> This demo has had very little configuration, and is located there temporarily 
> to allow feedback, and will be removed in the future. Maven1 site/xdoc allows 
> "navigation.xml" (to define the side navigation), "site.jsl" (to define the 
> velocity process of putting together top, side, body and bottom areas on each 
> page), and 3 CSS files to control styling, fonts and such. The side menu can 
> benefit from submenus with expand/collapse to aid display of large amounts of 
> content.
> I'd anticipate adding the following side menu groups, but others may have 
> better ideas
> * Documentation - with pages for different JDO concepts PM, PMF, JDOQL, 
> Extent, etc
> * Tutorials - very simple worked examples, things like 1-1, or replication, 
> or how to have an M-N with attributes
