Migration Notes

Reporting Plugin Maintainers

• Sink tables must start with Sink#table() + Sink#tableRows() and end with Sink#tableRows_() + Sink#table_()
• Runs UTs and ITs and compare HTML output with Doxia 1.x stack. If anything breaks for you, report with us.
• Anchors must be placed before the target element
• Make sure to take care of the signature changes in the Reporting Plugin API
• When linking to output of other plugins you must calculate the default path to it dynamically

Skin Writers

• Table border attribute is not used anymore, it has been replaced with the CSS class bodyTableBorder
• Maven Site Model is now availabe as  $site Velocity context property

Maven Site Plugin (Reporting Plugins) Users

• When using multiple locales, make sure that you supply default as well otherwise no root site will be generated
• You must supply a skin if you are using a site descriptor (site.xml)
• Use Maven Fluido Skin for custom Google-related properties
• Local repository must be purged or at least stale site descriptors deleted (find ~/.m2/repository -name \*site\*.xml -size 0 -delete) to properly resolve remote site descriptors again (site.xml)
