newbie performance question

[Richard Bondi <ri...@yahoo.com>]

Dear all,

With just four pages, if I change just one character on one of the
pages and regenerate with "forrest site", it takes 2.5 minutes; 5+
minutes if I also generate the pdfs. I'm on Win XP Pro, 512K Ram, jdk
1.4, 1GHz cpu.

Is there some way to make forrest only update the affected page? This
seems like much too long to wait for basic editing/upkeep of a site.

Thanks,
r:b:

It is, and there isn't a way to regenerate just one page.  Therefore the
recommended way to develop docs is with the webapp, as described at:
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/your-project.html#webapp

Although, typing 'forrest run' and viewing docs on http://localhost:8888/
is faster than the suggested process of setting up Tomcat.
