Problems using Velocity with Maven
Hi!
I'm trying to learn how to use Velocity and Maven to generate some HTML
pages. (I'm using Velocity Engine that comes with Maven 2.0.5)
The problem I have is that my .vm file does not "see" structure of the
Maven's site declaration.
When I run Maven without reference to my .vm file, it generates HTML file
with the structure of the site as defined in /src/site/site.xml file (as
well as the contents of the index.apt file).
This works fine.
Then I add my custom Velocity file "maven-site.vm" and reference it in the
pom.xml file:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-5</version>
<configuration>
<templateFile>maven-site.vm</templateFile>
<inputEncoding>UTF-8</inputEncoding>
<outputEncoding>UTF-8</outputEncoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I can change the generated HTML page with the help of my Velocity file.
However, when I try to retrieve the "site.xml" structure using
$siteDescriptor.getChild() (for example, $siteDescriptor.getChild(
"bannerLeft" ) ), I always get null.
Why is it so?
Is there anything else I have to define?
Or is my file structure incorrect?
Here is the structure of my sample project:
--WebTest
|-- pom.xml
|-- build.xml
|-- maven-site.vm
+-- src
|--+ site
|-- site.xml
|--+ apt
|- index.apt
I've spent a lot of time searching for solution, but haven't been able to
find the answer.
Thanks!

I would recommend asking the Maven users@maven.apache.org list. They
are responsible for all Maven/Velocity integration. I know of only
one guy around here who might know, and he is fairly busy these days
and may not have time to follow this list carefully or answer
questions.
