What I'd really like to see is both projects converge on using the same XML format. Maven's current format is perilously close to XHTML 2 [1], which is where Forrest is also heading [2,3]. > If you're going to use Maven I think there is almost zero value in > using Forrest. For 90% of users, yes. I see Forrest as a 'heavy lifting' (SVG processing, graphing, PDF generation, multi-transformation processing) compared to the Maven's xdoc plugin. Forrest will evolve to handle Maven xdocs/ layouts if it wants to get anywhere. > You'll either be double processing the docs generated by Maven, Forrest > is slow Horribly slow, and getting slower ;( OTOH, launch the Forrest webapp and edit in realtime, and you've got an editing turnaround that *nothing* that involves a JVM bootup can match. That's where I'm interested in Continuum.. would it be possible to have large, heavy processes like Cocoon continually in-memory, listening for startup/shutdown commands? Probably you've seen, but Jelly scripts can now can be invoked through an Avalon service [4]. > and everyone who wants to contributing to the site will have to > install Forrest which was not a fun exercise for me the other day as I > wanted to see what it could do. Getting Forrest running should be a matter of typing './build.sh', adding build/dist/shbat/bin/ to the PATH, then typing 'forrest seed ; forrest' in a clean directory. If you had any problems we're interested in solving them. Forrest 0.3 has just be released btw. You can see a bunch of projects building at http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/. I'll add jakarta-avalon-site and ws-site just as soon as I've got skin selection working. --Jeff [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/ [2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=forrest-dev&m=102909917505608&w=2 [3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=forrest-dev&m=104351979527689&w=2 [4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=avalon-dev&m=104325157107214&w=2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
