confluence-reporting-maven-plugin-6.1 - Use YAML Site Definition

Introduction

From release 6.0-rc3 we can describe a complete site's layout using an yaml file. Through site schema you can set root page (called home) its children's tree, add attachments and labels.
Use it is pretty straightforward, put your site.yaml in ${basedir}/src/site/confluence folder and describe your preferred layout following the site schema.

Unable to find source-code formatter for language: yaml. Available languages are: actionscript, html, java, javascript, none, sql, xhtml, xml
home:
  uri: index.confluence
  children:
    - name: Summary
      uri: summary.confluence   
    - name: Goals
      uri: goals.confluence
          generated:
            ref: plugin.goals
    - name: PluginsSummary
      uri: plugins-summary.confluence

Note:

The URI format

The uri attribute could refer to

  • File resource

We can refer to file in absolute way using file scheme (e.g. file:///Documents/page.confluence) or in relative way not using any scheme. In that case the path will be resolved starting from site home

  • Classpath resource

We can refer to resource using classpath schema. (e.g. classpath:page.confluence)

  • Network resource

We can refer to resource using http scheme. (e.g. http://www.thesite.com/page.confluence)
