As you figured out, there is some customization necessary for the skin to be used by commons. We have therefore our own skin (commons-skin) which is derived from the maven default skin. To get the fluido skin working, we have to update our commons-skin: - let derive it from fluido (copy all css, images, ...) - add the customizations to the site.vm My first result for doing this can be found / downloaded from here: http://people.apache.org/~tn/commons-skin_fluido.tar.gz With the modifications, building a component site has all the required images / footers. We may want to adjust a few css classes from the default fluido skin, e.g. the sidebar feels too wide imho, footer fonts .... btw. to test this out do the following: - download the modified commons-skin project - do mvn clean install of commons-skin - checkout commons-parent - update the skin to 0.4-SNAPSHOT - do a mvn clean install of commons-parent - update a component to commons-parent 33-SNAPSHOT - do a mvn clean site for a component the site should be available from $component/target/site/index.html Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
