[Springframework-developer] Documentation - committing soon

[Alef A. \(JTeam\) <al...@jt...>]

There's a new (WORK IN PROGRESS) pdf in the docs directory containing a
more elaborate beans package chapter (still not satisfied with it) and
some more info on mvc fileupload. It's about doubled in size and in
pages

I'm going to commit the sources I think in a couple of days (won't be
tomorrow, but probable Thursday). I plan to put a reference directory in
the docs directory, containing the sources and the libraries needed for
generation of documentation. Then, there will be a build-time-generated
pdf, html and html_single directory in the reference directory
(basically it's taken from Hibernate, which is ok, if we mention them
somewhere, according to Hib's Christian Bauer). There will be additional
targets in the build.xml for generating html, html-single and pdf docs
(just three or four targets).

One point of concern, the reference directory will start with a size of
___11 MEGABYTES!!!___. This is quite huge already, and it's going to be
bigger when pictures and more text comes in (but not a lot, because it's
mainly the libraries that do it, fop=2mb, batik=2mb, jai=1,5mb,
docbook-xsl=3,5mb).

I'll omit the lib directory until further notice, unless everybody
agrees to put the libs in as well...

P.s. I never really use the priorities in emails, but it's sure handy to
indicate a not-so-important mail :)..
P.p.s. don't mind the image in the beans-chapter having a strnage
layout, still work-in-progress :)
