Hi,
I just went to redo the excalibur projects documentation and found that it is
extremely complex to setup and use. You have to go download a 14MB file and
do all sorts of munging to get things working and it is in no way shape or
easy. Even then it spits out mountains of debug and warnings about things
that I am not using etc.
Compare this to Anakia
<taskdef name="anakia" classname="org.apache.velocity.anakia.AnakiaTask"/>
<anakia basedir="${xdocs.src}" destdir="${docs.dir}/"
extension=".html"
style="./site.vsl"
projectFile="stylesheets/project.xml"
includes="**/*.xml"
lastModifiedCheck="true"
templatePath="my/path/stylesheets" >
</anakia>
I would so love an equivelent simplified "cocoonia" task or whatever. All I
want is basically generate docs via XSLT (maybe multiple passes and maybe
generating pdfs/images).
I don't think we can afford to rely on cocoon as is for the excalibur
components due to the requirement to use jakarta-avalon CVS is too much. I
also don't think we should subject our users to the angst caused by trying to
get everything installed correctly from released versions.
So recomendations? Is Cocoon considering such a task in the future and should
I wait ? Should I just use XSLT sheets and leave it at that? Should I convert
to using Anakia ?
