It should be. What version of Forrest are you using and what commands did
you run to seed a project?

If you want generated "changes" documentation, such as:
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/dev/changes.html
then you need to declare the org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo
plugin in your forrest.properties file and then provide
a source file called status.xml containing your changes.
You can find an example status.xml in the source for that plugin
$FORREST_HOME/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo/status.xml

As we said in the other replies, you need to provide one
if you want to use the projectInfo plugin. I suggested
one that you could copy.

David, sorry to made it hard to read my replies. I'm using MS outlook and
there its not automatic when i will replay that Outlook will add a ">"
Could you please recommend me some tools to work with, when i'm answering or

I confirm that there is no status.xml for a forrest seed
and the projectInfo plugin is not declared.
If i read Markus' questions correctly he wants a "changes"
pages but doesn't know how to declare the plugin.
See above mail message and Ross' other replies. If that
is not correct Markus, then please explain your issue again.

Newbies are really good at testing the basic documentation and improving
on it when they have figured out the holes. Please help us to improve
the new user experience through improved documentation of the parts that
you find confusing.
Even the most novice of users have something valuable to bring to an
Open Source community. The novice users develop into more experienced
users and before they now it they are using SVN head and consider
themselves an "active dev".

Yes, to the first part (you should not have a status.xml file from
forrest seed).
"Sort of" to the second part. Installing the project.info plugin will
not create the status.xml file, it will only make it possible to use one
to create the changes, todo, release notes etc. that the projectInfo
plugin can create

forrest.properties is a configuration file in the root of your seeded
project.
> Did you told me what i need to change in the forrest.properties file?
No, you should not need to change it. I am merely trying to work out why
your seeded site is asking for status.xml when, as far as I am aware, it
should not do so.

Being an active dev I always run SVN head. 0.8-dev has been pretty stable
for some time now, we re trying to finish the final "polishing"
tasks before we can do the release, but it is slow going with most devs
having very little time to do such work.

Status XML is used by the project.info plugin (see the plugins page on our
website).
You should not have one in a freshly seeded site, it is not required as a
fresh site does not use the projectInfo plugin.
- if i understand you correct, than i will not have a status.xml
file in my folder if i don't - have yet installed the project.info
plugin. I'm correct?

Did you do the steps I asked? Can you please confirm the forrest.properties
settings I refer to. I'm trying to work out what is asking for status.xml
(and hoping some other dev/user with a clearer memory of 0.7, or a valid
install of 0.7, can help us out here).
- i did those steps you introdueced me to seed a new project, but
those steps where exactly - the same steps what i did also before.
What do you mean with forrest.properties settings - you refered to??
Did you told me what i need to change in the forrest.properties file?

Being an active dev I always run SVN head. 0.8-dev has been pretty
stable for some time now, we re trying to finish the final "polishing"
tasks before we can do the release, but it is slow going with most devs
having very little time to do such work.

You said it's a long time sine you worked with 0.7, are you running already
0.8?
When i make a new web site with "forrest seed" it creat this as well.
But it stands that there is a n status.xml in the root folder. But hat i can
see in the root folder is only a file with the name forrest.properties
For what is that status.xml file?
When i made a test project, and type there forrest run it's running as well
but i still miss the status.xml.

It's a long time since I worked with 0.7, so I'm going by distant memory and
looking at what is in the 0.7 branch...
The fresh-site used for seeding a new project does *not* include a
status.xml file and does *not* use the projectInfo plugin, which is what
requires the status.xml file.
So, I have no idea why your freshly seeded project is looking for
status.xml. We have not had a problem like this before and 0.7 is in wide
use, so I can only guess it is something peculiar about your setup.
Please do the following...
cd [TMP_DIR]
mkdir test
cd test
forrest seed
Now confirm that the projectInfo plugin is not defined in the
project.required.plugins value defined in forrest.properties
forrest run
http://localhost:8888
You should see your seeded sites home page
