How to Build the Axis2 Project's Website

Installing Maven

The Axis 2.0 website build system solely depends on Maven. The build has been specifically tested to work with Maven version 1.0.1. To install Maven, download the distributions and follow the instructions in the documentation. Make sure you don't forget to put MAVEN_HOME/bin directory in the path.

Checking out Axis 2.0

Checkout the latest source using your favorite SVN client. If you are a committer, get a commiter check out.

Building the Site

Type maven multiproject at the root of your project folder. It will take some time to build the whole site. The built site will be available under targets/docs.

FAQ

1. How can I update a document in the site ?
   Get a commiter check out. All the documents are in HTML format under the xdocs folder, and you can change only the documents found under this folder. Change the relevant file and run maven "html2xdoc:transform". New documentation will be available under the target folder.
2. How can I add a new document?
   Put the new document in the xdocs folder. Change the navigation.xml found under the xdocs folder by adding a link to the newly added document. Re-generate the site.
