[jira] Moved: (MSITE-68) Ability to view how the site would look
without generating the entire site
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-68?page=all ]
Jason van Zyl moved MNG-933 to MSITE-68:
----------------------------------------
Component: (was: Design & Best Practices)
Complexity: (was: Intermediate)
Key: MSITE-68 (was: MNG-933)
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin (was: Maven 2)
> Ability to view how the site would look without generating the entire site
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSITE-68
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-68
> Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
> Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Arik Kfir
> Priority: Trivial
>
>
> 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.
