I have following problem where I can not help myself. I want to use a 
raw html file (and a css-stylesheet + some images) as front-page to the 
forrest site. When I test the page with 'forrest run' everything works 
fine until I use the site generated with the 'forrest build' command. 
The css file and the images are not are not copied and make the front 
page unusable. Now my question is if and how I can include these files ?

I am using Forrest v0.7.
    

Please create a minimal example or use your actual files.
Then create an Issue: http://forrest.apache.org/issues.html

Attach the html and CSS and your sitemap. Tell us the
filesystem location where your images and CSS are stored.

I am using a workaround now - instead of calling forrest directly I call it from a ANT script as described here:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/forrest-user/200504.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not sure if it is necessary to create an issue. If someone can confirm that specifying files for copying in the next version of forrest is supported then it's ok for me.


While playing around with the problem I found out that files placed in  content/ and not in content/xdocs are copied correctly when I run 'forrest'. But on the other side 'forrest run' doesn't work anymore since it can't find files placed there.

Thanks,
Christian
