Creating a Skin for the Maven 2 Site Plugin

* About

  A Maven 2 site skin contains the following elements:

    * Resources to copy into each project (such as images used by the CSS)

    * A <<<maven-theme.css>>> file, containing the visual styling.

    * An optional Velocity template for an alternate HTML rendering of the site.

* Building

  A skin is built like any other JAR - with a <<<packaging>>> of <<<jar>>>. No additional plugins are needed.

  Resources should be put in the normal <<<src/main/resources>>> directory.

  Once the JAR is built and deployed, it can be used by projects.

* Constructing the CSS

  <<More information is needed here on constructing the CSS.>>

  If you are interested in constructing your own CSS, it is recommended that you copy an existing skin's
  <<<maven-theme.css>>> file and modify it to suit your needs.

* Customizing the HTML output with a Velocity template

  <<Details on the velocity template variables and use should be included>>.

  The format of the velocity template is currently out of scope for this document. To attempt this, start by copying
  <<<default-site.vm>>> from the <<<doxia-site-renderer>>> JAR and modify it to your needs.
