While I think this is an interesting tool, I don't think it's widely
applicable enough to go into the VelocityTools project. Most of the
tools already provided are useul in a very wide range of applications,
but this one seems very narrow.

I like your idea of putting it onto the Contributed Code section of the
Wiki, though.

Just my two cents.

Organizing data into tables is pretty common.  things like DisplayTag
are quite popular in the JSP world (actually displaytag is 80% of why
i like to see Velocity and JSP play together better).  While it would
probably take a herculean effort to turn this into a match for that
anytime soon, having something to simplify the process of outputting
tables of data would be a small step in that direction.  i'm not
saying that i'm sure this would fit in VelocityTools, but i'm think it
might with a little work.  i'd at least like to see more of it.

always appreciated!!

[jira] Created: (DBF-1) Copy images based on type and target

2007-08-07 Thread Matthew Koch (JIRA)
Copy images based on type and target


 Key: DBF-1
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBF-1
 Project: DocBook Framework
  Issue Type: Improvement
 Environment: Ubuntu Feisty
Reporter: Matthew Koch
Priority: Minor


I noticed in the DBF documentation that there is a TODO item to not blindly 
copy images.  Would an acceptable solution be to add an 'includesfile' to the 
fileset for the copy task for images based on the target (and if desirable on 
the type)?  For example, for the 'pdf' type of the 'manual' target there could 
be a file called manual.pdf.image.includes that would specify which images to 
include/exclude.  I haven't tested the behavior of the includesfile attribute 
much, so it may be necessary to have a default includesfile with images/**.
