Re: [docbook-dev] DocBook-XSL 1.76.0-RC1 for preliminary testing

[Mimil Mimil <mimilowns@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am giving a try to make the xsl-webhelpindexer extension and I have some questions:

- can someone tell me how the VERSION file is created? (like in xsl-xalan or xsl-saxon)
- is there any external actions to do? (like in the scm, the bug tracker, ...)

- in Makefile, is "webhelpindexer.jar: $(wildcard src/)" correct? (I am not�familiar�with makefiles)

Regards,

Cedric,

I didn't yet made the webhelp docbkx plugin but the plugin will mimic what your are doing in your ant file.

I am not sure it is a long task, I think about 3 steps:

- you guess you just need to split your ant file in 2 by extracting the compilation part into a top directory (like xsl-webhelpindexer?)

- I guess the Makefile in xsl/extensions have to be modified too to copy the jar you built + the lucen dependencies

- modify the your ant to take care of this new classpath

As I do not have the docbook building toolchain, I cannot make the test.

Yes, that make sense. Not sure how soon I�ll get around to breaking it out though.

I�d also like to understand how to build webhelp using the docbkx maven plugin, but I�m new to maven.
