[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-245?page=all ]
Chris A. Mattmann updated NUTCH-245:
------------------------------------
Description: Currently, the plugin.xml file does not have a DTD or XML
Schema associated with it, and most people just go look at an existing plugin's
plugin.xml file to determine what are the allowable elements, etc. There should
be an explicit plugin DTD file that describes the plugin.xml file. I'll look at
the code and attach a plugin.dtd file for the Nutch conf directory later today.
This way, people can use the DTD file to automatically (using tools such as
XMLSpy) generate plugin.xml files that can then be validated. (was:

another issue regarding adding an addition to the ant target that builds the
Nutch website. The addition to the ant target would copy the existing DTD files
in $NUTCH_HOME/conf to the Nutch website ROOT. That way, we could then
reference the DTD file in all the XML instance files by reference something
like <!DOCTYPE system "http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/dtd/parse-plugins.dtd";>,
within the parse-plugins.xml, or similarly for the nutch-site.xml, or
mime-types.xml file.)
update the issue to just be a single issue - I may post the one about copying
the DTDs to the website at a later point
