[Maven-plugins-developer] SDocBook Plug-in 1.4 release!

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

The maven-plugins team is pleased to announce the SDocBook Plug-in 1.4 
release! 

http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net

A plugin for DOCBOOK processing. Uses the DocBook Open Repository project XSL 
stylesheets to process DocBook XML sources into different output formats. 

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Added properties maven.sdocbook.html.xsl and maven.sdocbook.fo.xsl. 
o Allow using new stylesheet versions as dependencies in POM. 
o Added documentation to use custom stylesheets. 
o The docbook DTDs are huge and take time to resolve externally. Added the 
  EntityResolver from xml-commons and added properties to be able to use it. 
o Added the xalan25 extensions jar from stylesheet distribution to be able to 
  use the stylesheet extensions. 
o Added possibility to set the stylesheet params. 
o Added copying of external resources like images, which the target output 
  references externally (e.g. a HTML output which includes a IMG tag). 

  Fixed bugs:

o Fail on transformation errors. 

  Changes:

o Update of documentation to include description of the new properties, how 
  to set stylesheet parameters, how to update to use newer stylesheets etc.
