--------------------------------------------------------------
You can download a folder with a plug-in either from a Anonymous SVN (http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools) or a Committer SVN  (https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools)  ( if you have commiter rights) repositories . In the plug-in's folder you will find a directory with documentation.This instruction explains how you can build the documentation. 


h3. New Prerequisites:
Ensure you have the Maven building tool
Ensure the Nexus repository and profile as defined here:  http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15170 http://community.jboss.org/wiki/MavenGettingStarted-Developers are in your *+settings.xml+* file, located in your  *%M2_HOME%/conf/* or *%USER_HOME%/.m2/* folder. These settings are required in order to obtain the necessary jDocbook plug-ins that are required to build the JBoss Tools documentation 

h3. Previously you would have undertaken:
*+This is no longer necessary+*

2.You need to make sure you have downloaded all required files and folder from the repository:
    a) Plug-in folder
    b) the +*documentation*+ folder
3.Maven requires a number of plug-ins (jDocBook etc.) to generate JBoss Tools        documentation    and therefore you need to specify where Maven can download those plug-ins. The easiest way is to create a new profile in the Maven configuration file (*+settings.xml+*). You will find the file in *%M2_HOME%/conf/* or *%USER_HOME%/.m2/*. Open the *+settings.xml+* and add the following profile:


 <profile>
      <id>documentation</id>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
          <name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
          <url>http://download.java.net/maven/1</url>
          <layout>legacy</layout>
        </repository>
        <repository>
          <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
          </releases>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
          </snapshots>
          <id>repository.jboss.com</id>
          <name>Jboss Repository for Maven</name>
          <url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/</url>
          <layout>default</layout>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
      <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
          <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
          </releases>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
          </snapshots>
          <id>repository.jboss.com</id>
          <name>Jboss Repository for Maven</name>
          <url> http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/ </url>
          <layout>default</layout>
        </pluginRepository>
        <pluginRepository>
          <releases>
          <enabled>false</enabled>
             </releases>
                 <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
             </snapshots>
              <id>snapshots.jboss.org</id>
             <name>Jboss Snapshots Repository for Maven</name>
          <url>http://snapshots.jboss.org/maven2/</url>
          <layout>default</layout>
     </pluginRepository>
     </pluginRepositories>
    </profile>

Then you need to activate the profile if you want to use it permanently. Find the   +<activeProfiles>+ tag and add this line as a child element:


  <activeProfile>documentation</activeProfile>

Otherwise you should explicitly activate the profile with *-P profile_name* option while building the documentation.
h3. 
h3. These steps are still required:
h3. Building Steps
So, you checked out the plug-in for which you want to build documentation and the documentation folder. And now you can proceed to building the documentation.

1.Find the +*pom.xml*+ file, that is responsible for building the documentation,  in the plug-in folder you downloaded. Normally it’s located in “/docs/reference”.

2.Run *mvn clean install*  or *mvn clean install -P profile_name* (if you didn't activate your profile in Maven's *+settings.xml+*) command in the folder with *+pom.xml+* to start building the documentation.


Example: 
user at user-desktop:/home/user/trunk/seam/docs/reference$ mvn clean install

3.If everything is configured correctly you will see a “BUILD SUCCESSFUL” message. You will also see a generated *+target+* folder that contains the built documentation.
Example:
To open the HTML version of the “Seam Dev Tools Reference Guide” guide you need to proceed to 
user at user-desktop:/home/user/trunk/seam/docs/seam/docs/reference/target/docbook/publish/en-US/html_single 
and open index.html file.
h3. Documentation Profiles


There are 3 profiles that you can build documentation with:

*release* builds release documentation with “new” or “updated” markers next to the corresponding chapters and sections titles
*releaseJBDS*  builds release documentation with Jboss.com styles for commercial products

> Remember to redeploy "jbosstools-jdocbook-style" and "jbosstools-docbook-xslt" if it have been changed. 
> In order to redeploy you should run 'mvn deploy'  from the corresponding directory. You should also have the apropriate credentials to deploy to the http://snapshots.jboss.org/maven2

*diffmk* builds  documentation with markers highlighting changes comparing to the previous release version and sets “new” or “updated” markers next to the corresponding chapters and sections titles.*Note:* Please make sure that you have the master_output.xml file (normally the file can be found in \pluginName\docs\reference\en\) as a new guide may not have such file since there's nothing to compare with.

This command launches building documentation with a profile.
mvn install -Pprofile_name


By default, with no profile specified, Night Build docs are generated.

In order to build all the guide from one place you need to have JBoss Tools trunk checked out then cd to JBoss_tools_trunk/documentation/jbds-docs/ to build JBDS guides with jboss.com styles or to  JBoss_tools_trunk/documentation/jboss-tools-docs to build JBoss Tools guides.
and run

mvn assembly:assembly


You can optionally use a profile in this command.
mvn assembly:assembly -Pprofile_name
