Ross: simplifiedDocbook worked ok, the page rendered nicely.  Thanks!


There are two other things I'd like to mention

0.7/docs/your-project.html says

    <property environment="env"/>
    <property name="forrest.home" value="${env.FORREST_HOME}"/>
    <import file="${env.FORREST_HOME}/forrest.build.xml"/>

but forrest.build.xml is in directory main, so I guess it should read

    <import file="${env.FORREST_HOME}/main/forrest.build.xml"/>

Correct - fixed - thanks.

Another problem seems to be fetching the plugin, when calling
from within ant.

...
check-java-version:
This is apache-forrest-0.7-dev
Using Java 1.4 from C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.4.2\jre
...
check-plugin:
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo is not available in the build dir

ERROR
=====

Unable to retrieve the ${plugin.name} plugin.
...

Two noteworthy things: Calling "forrest init-plugins" installs the
plugin sucessfully.  And the error message says "${plugin.name}",
instead of the real name of the plugin.

The two things are related. It looks like that the {plugin.name} is not being set for some reason (and I guess {versioned.name} is not set either.

These are set in the init-plugins target of targets/plugins.xml

I have no idea why this is happening and don't have the time to explore this just yet. I can't raise an issue either since the issue tracker is down right now.

If we don't get time to fix this before the release I suggest adding a warning to the your-project.html in the instructions for using Forrest via Ant (i.e. you must manually install the plugins for it to work).

Thanks for spotting this one.

Ross
