Stephen Colebourne created MSITE-690:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Add new "process-reports" goal
Key: MSITE-690
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-690
Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.3
Reporter: Stephen Colebourne
AFAICT, maven builds a site by relying on other plugins to generate files in a
specific HTML format. For example, the PMD and Checkstyle plugins generate
reports that include references to "@import url("./css/maven-base.css");" and
"${project.version}". The site plugin then post-processes these files to do
three things:
(a) add the css files,
(b) convert references like ${project.version}
(c) add in a generated menu structure with relative links
Propose adding a new goal "process-reports" that performs steps (a) and (b)
only. Instead of generating the index structure in step (c), it would simply
remove the index and header parts of the HTML file to create a simple
*standalone* HTML file.
The aim of this improvement is to allow valid complete HTML files to be created
without the rest of the generated site (with the complications of relative
links). This goal would simply run in each project of the multi-module build
independently, processing the resources it finds locally.
Users wanting a checkstyle report could then run "mvn clean
checkstyle:checkstyle-aggregator site:process-reports". Today, "mvn clean
checkstyle:checkstyle-aggregator" works OK but produces half-complete HTML
files.
