[jira] Created: (DERBY-4768) Create template style sheets for PlanExporter tool and copy those templates into demo/templates as part of building a release

Create template style sheets for PlanExporter tool and copy those templates into demo/templates as part of building a release
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4768
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4768
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build tools, Demos/Scripts, Documentation, Tools
            Reporter: Rick Hillegas


The PlanExporter tool relies on default style sheets which users should be able to customize. Derby's model for this kind of customization can be seen in how we handle the  security policy file:

o There is a template policy file parked next to the default policy file in the codeline. They are pretty much copies of one another.

o When building a release, we copy the template policy file into demo/templates

o The user documentation explains how to customize the template policy file found in demo/templates

We should do something similar for the PlanExporter's customizable style sheets.

Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-4768:
--------------------------------------

An alternative approach might be to give PlanExporter an api which directs it to dump the default style sheets somewhere. That would save us the trouble of maintaining redundant template copies in the codeline and having to build them into demo/tempates at release time. We would still need to document this facility.
