[wtp-incubator-dev] maven support for DITA
|
Hi VEX developers,
I have created a concept some months ago for DITA documentation in maven-based continuous integration builds which is to assemble parts of the documentation dynamically. Maven and maven plugins are a requirement at the build time.
For this concept to come to an implementation, I need some tooling support:
1) An editor that supports inclusion of code (DITA 1.2 feature)
2) A dita maven plugin that compiles the PDF during build time (already exists at http://mojo.codehaus.org/dita-maven-plugin/ [apache 2.0 license])
3) An custom resource plugin that collects/filters documentation artifacts during maven build time. (not existing)
This would have to be available in a maven repository for other people to use.
4) An IDE [wizard] that enables project creation with maven support. This would mean, that it would create a proper pom.xml with adecuate maven dependencies.
VEX currently does not have any of it #1 - #4.
I would like to work on it (#1, #3, #4), and I'm wondering if we can have a maven plugin (#3) as part of the framework, and also if that plugin can be automatically deployed to some maven repository.
Any thoughts on maven support?
Thanks,
Igor
