[jira] Updated: (MSITE-68) Ability to view how the site would look
without generating the entire site
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-68?page=all ]
Brett Porter updated MSITE-68:
------------------------------
Assign To: Brett Porter
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.

> 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.
