[jira] Created: (MNG-933) Ability to view how the site would look without generating the entire site
Ability to view how the site would look without generating the entire site
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-933
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-933
Project: Maven 2
Type: New Feature
Components: design
Reporter: Arik Kfir
Priority: Minor
It would be nice to be able to run something like "m2 site:run" which would start a process that serves the site dynamically. If you know Apache Forrest, its similar to "forrest run" (as opposed to "forrest site" - which is like "m2 site:site").
The use case here, is that when writing documentation, it is frustrating to having to generate the entire site every time you make a change - if you simply want to preview the results. A better approach would be a Jetty (or Tomcat?) process that receives the request from a browser, and generates the content lazily. It would make writing m2-style docs a breeze.
In Maven 1 it would have been almost impossible, but with m2 - it might be possible.
The only caveat I see here is having to know what report to run against each URL. The only way I see to solve this is having reports expose (via annotations?) the list of files they generate, but that has disadvantages as well.
Non-the-less - this would be a killer helper plugin.

Fix Version: 2.0
John Casey has some sample code to do this, and it is fairly easy to do with jetty. I'll look into it.

will probably just do the site for now, and later create a separate issue for reports

Brett Porter commented on MSITE-68:
-----------------------------------
there are two alternatives for how to implement this:
- run a jetty instance and deploy a servlet. This is similar to John's approach though the code is no longer relevant to the API/modules/etc
- simply start a monitoring process on files and then use the regular site generation on files as they change
I think the first is more beneficial as we can introduce the location of other modules in a reactor/USD to also solve the problems presented in the other JIRA issue about being able to see the entire hierachy in its desired layout.
