I haven't followed that entire thread, nor can I find that thread
currently. But, a log plugin; which I think? followes which files
have
changed, has been developed using java.util.logging. I think it
allows
forrest to know which files have changed but I think it runs on a
dynamic site, and I am uncertain if the loging plugin is hooked into
forrest for this yet.
I will keep my eyes on that and research it a bit.
Also, I am uncertain about the release date of 0.7. I think Jean has
the docs up to spec for 0.6, which I think is needed for 0.7. Cocoon
had a problem creating some graphic files which would create errors in
site logs, that was fixed in cocoon, but I don't know if forrest
updated
cocoon with 6.0 after the release. I can look into that on monday.

Refer to the links in the comments of the following JIRA issue:
http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-79
It would be nice if the JIRA issue is used to record progress on the
documentation.
Thanks for pointing this out. What did you have in mind for the search
on a pc? I was wondering if you were thinking of something like the
adobe extensible metadata platform, or something like that? I really
haven't looked at pdf search techniques. I guess someone could attach
derby to pdf files somehow :-)

Hi Scott,
I haven't spent any time with cocoon, FOP etc, but I have seen other
commercial software products provide a PDF document for each of their
manuals and a searchable index that covers all the manuals.
I'm not sure if any of the open source PDF file generation solutions
provide something like:
http://www.adobe.co.uk/epaper/tips/acr5search/main.html
I wasn't trying to suggest that Derby be somehow used to search PDF
documentation (not sure if that is what you thought I said)..
I would like the ability to search within acrobat reader across the
different derby manuals and also have the ability to have links from one
manual to the other (as I found I had to refer to more than one manual to
perform some Derby tasks).
OK, I understand. I guess I didn't read the issue correctly all the way.
The following page describes the search functionality and it also
mentioned PDF metadata (that you mentioned), so it sounds like you might
have given yourself away as the PDF expert :-)
Actually, I don't know anything about PDF. I did notice that FOP
supports PDF version 1.3. So I don't think embedded XML within the PDF
file would work. It does have Document Level Navigation, Destinations,
Bookmarks etc. I did notice in FOP if memory problems start to exist,
turn off forward references. But the point I guess is, do any other new
document formats exist that might be better than PDF? I know we will
still output to PDF, but thought some other cool document display
architecture might exist. I don't know, as I am clueless about such
things. I can look a bit though.
Anyone know of some other display architecture?
I'll look more into FOP to see what all it supports.
thanks,
scott
