jakarta-avalon-site and Forrest 0.3

[Jeff Turner <je...@apache.org>]

Hi,

As you may have seen on announcements@, we did a Forrest 0.3 release
today.  Unfortunately I've just discovered it doesn't work with the
avalon-tigris skin.  A workaround for the binary distro is to type 'mkdir
context/skins/avalon-tigris/scripts'.  It's fixed in CVS, and we'll do a
0.3.1 release soon.

Also, I have added jakarta-avalon-site to the Forrestbot, which rebuilds
it every 4 hours:

http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/site/jakarta-avalon-site

By logging in as avalon-dev/avalon-dev, you can trigger a regen from CVS,
meaning that most people won't need to download Forrest to see the
results of a site edit.

I'm not familiar with how website HTML is uploaded at Jakarta.  At
xml.apache.org (and ws.apache.org), there's this horrible xml-site/
module full of generated HTML.  If Jakarta works in roughly the same way,
I can provide a 'publish' button in the Forrestbot webapp, to completely
automate the website update process.

Site publishing tidbits

["Noel J. Bergman" <no...@devtech.com>]

Just FYI ...

The Forrestbot (http://xml.apache.org/forrest/forrestbot.html) and an
optional associated web site (http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/index.jsp) is
an interesting tool.

I don't know if Maven has a similar tool, and I'm still waiting to hear how
we integrate Maven reports with Forrest rendering.

At the moment, we need to take documents from jakarta-james/src/xdocs, plus
we have to generate javadocs, and populate the site with those, too.  The
target in the CVS is jakarta-james/www.  When we have a james-site module,
the process seems largely the same, except for the fact that the javadocs
need to be generated from a different module.  The Forrestbot seems to
handle that aspect pretty well, from what I see of the descriptors.  And it
appears that it can automatically commit to CVS and/or scp directly to
daedalus.
