So, the .vm file is the "main" template for the whole OpenEJB site, is it? It creates the layout and everything. If that is true, and if i change the css in this file, it will affect the whole website, correct?
Right.
I have checked out the website, is there a way i can make changes to it and see those changes (i.e. run the website on my local machine) before i submit patches? I don't have confluence, so I am not sure how to work on the website and submit working patches. I have a feeling I might need confluence (which I dont have) and a servlet container to be able to achieve the above.
Right again. You pretty much need Confluence, the AutoExport plugin and the template. Optionally you could work from a copy of the sight by exporting it as xml and then importing it on your personal confluence install.
Confluence comes ready to go, servlet container and all, so you're good to go with that and the AutoExport plugin.
Feel free to have fun with the template. If you come up with something nice you can easily upload it to your future account on people.apache.org for everyone to see. Definitely keep the color scheme for the most part. Some kind of change would be a nice way to visually communicate change in the a project; a new and different OpenEJB 3.0.
