faq & xdoc-SNAPSHOT
Hi,
A question to Arnaud or anybody who might know:
There is a problem in the latest faq plugin running together with xdoc
plugin-1.10-SNAPSHOT. The faq plugin requires xdoc > 1.9.2 so we do the
following check in plugin.jelly:
<j:if test="${empty(xdocPlugin) or
xdocPlugin.currentVersion.compareTo('1.9.2') lt 0}">
<fail>...</fail>
</j:if>
This always fails if the currentVersion contains a string like
"-SNAPSHOT". Is there an elegant way of comparing versions including the
"-SNAPSHOT" suffix (apart from cutting it off by hand)?
Thx for any hints,
Lukas

Not for the moment, sorry. But if you have questions about it, we can
answer you on the doxia list.

Hi Brett,
this sounds very interesting and given my issues with xdoc, this might
be something that I could look into for maven-1. Is there any more
docs than what is available at doxia.codehaus.org?
Best regards
Henning

Lukas, and others,
It's done there's a new tag (plugin:available) that can be used to test if a plugin with a minimum release number is installed.
The problem is that this new tag will be available only on the maven-plugin-plugin >=1.7
If possible, I'd like to release it before the m1.1 final release.
Arnaud

Re: faq & xdoc-SNAPSHOT
Posted by Arnaud HERITIER <ah...@gmail.com>.
Concerning this issue, I wanted to create a new Jelly tag developped in Java
to compare two releases number.
For example : 1.10-SNAPSHOT > 1.9
The problem is where can I put it ?
This tag will be used in several plugins.
I thought to put it in the plugin plugin so it could be used in maven 1.0.X.
But I have a problem with the bootstrap because we use the plugin:install
goal for each plugin so the plugin plugin is loaded first but the java code
isn't built. Thus I have a ClassNotFound :-(
If I add this tag in the core, plugins will become incompatible with maven
1.0.X for a silly thing !!
WDYT ??
How are managed dependencies between plugins and their releases in m2 ?

I am familiar with embedding fop in Java so that's something I would try
first. The fop team expects (unofficially) another release 'in the
second half of 2005', I am eagerly awaiting that.
As alternative, iText comes to mind ( http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ ),
it has a dual MPL / LGPL license. It looks good but I have never used it
myself.

No, we don't use Velocity in Doxia, it's a pure java code.

I'm not sure fop will be the best candidate for this. It will be the
most simple because we already have templates but I'm not sure it's the
most simple to use. There are some libraries on the net for read/write
pdf with java code, I don't know if there are some with Apache
compatible license.
Lukas, I'll can help you (when you'll start) with doxia if you have some
difficulties.

Basically, doxia works on a sink architecture - it takes a varierty of
input formats (html, xdoc, apt, docbook) parses them and sends them
through as events to a variety of output formats (xhtml, xdoc, rtf).
It's templated using Velocity, so the end result is a lot simpler and
faster.
So I don't know what's available for PDFs - hopefully we can stream
directly into it, or otherwise stream it to xdoc and then transform that
using fop like the current pdf plugin.

Sure, there's no rush. I know we haven't done all the work we could have
to get m2 stuff running in m1 yet, but its still the long term goal so
that we can unify the development efforts.
Cheers,
Brett

Don't expect anything from me there, I have zero experience with m2 so
far. I wanted to get rid of a bunch of trivial JIRA issues first before
digging into m2.
But then I'd be interested in writing a pdf plugin for m2, which should
be a 'doxia sink' (from the plugin matrix, what does that mean?), so
it'd be probably useful to get familiar with that stuff. If somebody
feels like he could offer some advice to get me going, please do. But as
I said, don't expect anything too soon.

I think it's because 10 < 9 when doing a string comparison.
I've mentioned this before, but I think it is time to start version 2.0
of this plugin and incorporate some of the m2 technology (doxia) instead
of using JSL. Thoughts?
