adding site resources folder to site

[Johannes Buchner <bu...@gmx.at>]

Hi,

I'm new to maven. I have a project here called "documentation", which should 
only generate a xdoc site. That works fine, but now I want to add a resource 
folder other than the default one. The reason is that I have images in 
another folder. I want to use them in the html files. And I don't want to 
move them into src/site/ .

I read something about <siteResources> in 
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html, however 
this seems to be only for archetypes.

Is there a way to have multiple site resources?

I read that another possibility (a workaround) would be to call antrun to copy 
the files first to src/site/.

Regards,
Johannes.

PS: no, I can't move the folder to src/site/.

The directory to use for such files is src/site/resources

Why can't you move the files?
What does your project directory layout look like?

That is only relevant when you are creating your own archetype.

Not that I'm aware of.

Either there or to the target directory for the site, but believe me 
when I say that it's a major pain to maintain that.
