Hervé Boutemy created DOXIASITETOOLS-149:
--------------------------------------------
Summary: create a skin descriptor to contain meta-data about the
skin
Key: DOXIASITETOOLS-149
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIASITETOOLS-149
Project: Maven Doxia Sitetools
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Site renderer
Affects Versions: 1.6
Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
Fix For: 1.7
currently, a skin is a jar containing at least {{META-INF/maven/site.vm}},
which is the Velocity template file
adding a skin descriptor (as XML with Modello, to be consistent with Maven
style) would permit meta-data definition.
The first case I see is Doxia Site Tools prerequisites, to have a skin make
clear that it requires a newer version of Doxia Site Tools (which is a
dependency of maven-site-plugin = what end-users see): this would permit newer
Doxia Site Tools versions to provide new features for skins, and skins using
these features without fearing being used in older maven-site-plugin versions
this would also create a new "skin-model" module that would give us a natural
place to document practices around skins
