Hi Jose, Fantastic! "...if there is interest...", yes there is! I will need docbook from Maven in the near future.
And your auto olink db generation sounds great! -----Original Message----- From: Jose Gonzalez Gomez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 2:38 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Docbook plugin Hi there, I have a preliminary version of a Docbook plugin for Maven2. Here is my typical use case: I use to write project documentation (at least requirements) using Unified Process "artifacts" (Software requirements specification, actors specification, glossary, risk list, use case specifications,...). My main objective is to have a lot of small, manageable and interlinked documents that form the whole documentation and that can be easily browsed using an Internet browser. To achieve this I use Docbook articles with cross references between documents using olink. In order to transform this documents into a browsable web, you must supply a olink database to the Docbook stylesheets to enable external link resolution. The plugin scans existing Docbook files and automatically generates the olink database using the standard stylesheets. Once the database is created, transforms every document (no chunking nor toc) using the provided database. The only requirement for this to work is to use a predefined schema to build the name of referenced documents (very easy). I know this is a very focused use case and implementation, so I would like to know if there is interest in this to publish it as open source, and maybe add more requirements and flexibility to it...
