RE: [Maven-plugins-developer] Docbook

[Carlos S. <ca...@ap...>]

Hi,

I'd like this patch to be applied and release a new version of the plugin. You should also remove the maven.xml.

I think maven docbook should be removed as it seems to be discontinued and not very useful, and this one renamed from sdocbook to
docbook. It shouldn't be included in maven as it depends in jimi, which can't be redistributed. What do you think about?

I have used this code in maven.xml to use another stylesheet version and custom stylesheets. It'd be great if the plugin could be
more customizable, in the meantime it can be added to the docs.

    <postGoal name="sdocbook:prepare-filesystem">
        <j:set var="unzipped" value="false" />
        <util:available file="${maven.sdocbook.generated.fo}">
            <j:set var="unzipped" value="true" />
            <echo>Using previusly unzipped docbook files</echo>
        </util:available>
        <j:if test="${!unzipped}">
            <!-- unzip docbook files -->
            <ant:unzip dest="${maven.build.dir}"
                src="${pom.getDependencyPath('docbook:docbook-xsl')}"/>
                
            <!-- use a custom fo stylesheet -->
            <move file="${maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir}/fo/docbook.xsl"
                tofile="${maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir}/fo/docbook-bak.xsl"/>
            <copy file="${maven.sdocbook.src.dir}/styles/fo/docbook.xsl"
                todir="${maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir}/fo"/>

            <!-- use a custom html stylesheet -->
            <move file="${maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir}/html/docbook.xsl"
                tofile="${maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir}/html/docbook-bak.xsl"/>
            <copy file="${maven.sdocbook.src.dir}/styles/html/docbook.xsl"
                todir="${maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir}/html"/>

            <copy todir="${maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir}">
                <fileset dir="${maven.sdocbook.src.dir}/images"/>
            </copy>
        </j:if>

    </postGoal>

With this properties:
maven.sdocbook.resources.include=**/*.gif,**/*.svg,**/*.jpg
maven.sdocbook.stylesheets.dir=${maven.build.dir}/docbook-xsl-1.66.1

and
    <dependency>
      <groupId>docbook</groupId>
      <artifactId>docbook-xsl</artifactId>
      <version>1.66.1</version>
      <url>http://docbook.sourceforge.net</url>
      <type>zip</type>
    </dependency>

Custom stylesheets can be found at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/acegisecurity/acegisecurity/docbook/styles/html/ and
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/acegisecurity/acegisecurity/docbook/styles/fo 
It needs some testing, maybe for a 1.5 version

Regards
