[jboss-dev] HowTo parameterize your docbook

[Thomas Diesler]

Folks,

If you are interested in a solution to

Parameterized docbook sources
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/MPJDOCBOOK-30

here is how JBossOSGi does it:

In you pom add

     <resources>
       <resource>
         <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
         <filtering>true</filtering>
       </resource>
     </resources>
     <plugins>
       <plugin>
         <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
         <artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         <executions>
           <execution>
             <phase>process-resources</phase>
             <goals>
               <goal>create</goal>
             </goals>
             <configuration>
               <format>{0,date,dd-MMM-yyyy}</format>
               <items>
                 <item>timestamp</item>
               </items>
             </configuration>
           </execution>
         </executions>
       </plugin>
       <plugin>
         <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
         <executions>
           <execution>
             <phase>process-resources</phase>
             <goals>
               <goal>resources</goal>
             </goals>
             <configuration>
 
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/docbook/resources</outputDirectory>
             </configuration>
           </execution>
         </executions>
       </plugin>

in src/main/resources/bookinfo.xml put

   <bookinfo>
     <title>JBossOSGi - User Guide</title>
     <releaseinfo>Version: ${version}</releaseinfo>
     <pubdate>Date: ${buildNumber}</pubdate>
   </bookinfo>

in my master.xml put

<book lang="en" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">

   <xi:include href="../target/docbook/resources/bookinfo.xml"/>

   <toc/>

   <xi:include href="modules/introduction.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="modules/gettingstarted.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="modules/frameworkintegration.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="modules/devguide.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="modules/providedservices.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="modules/references.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="modules/gettingsupport.xml"/>

</book>

This includes the filtered bookinfo from target/docbook/resources

May this be useful
