confluence-reporting-maven-plugin-7.0-SNAPSHOT - Use XML Site Definition

Introduction

From release 3.3.0 we can describe a complete site's layout using an xml 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.xml in ${basedir}/src/site/confluence folder and describe your preferred layout following the site schema.

Site template

To simplify understanding, below there is a simple site descriptor template

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<bsc:site
    xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
    xmlns:bsc='https://github.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin'
    xsi:schemaLocation='https://github.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin/master/schemas/site-schema-6.0.xsd'>
    <home name="" uri="">

        <attachment name="" uri="" comment="" contentType="" version=""></attachment>
        <attachment name="" uri="" comment="" contentType="" version=""></attachment>

        <child name="" uri="">

          <attachment name="" uri="" comment="" contentType="" version=""></attachment>
          <attachment name="" uri="" comment="" contentType="" version=""></attachment>

            <child name="" uri="">
              <attachment name="" uri="" comment="" contentType="" version=""></attachment>
              <attachment name="" uri="" comment="" contentType="" version=""></attachment>
            </child>

            <child name="" uri=""></child>

       </child>

        <child name="" uri=""></child>

    </home>

    <label>label1</label>
    <label>label2</label>
    <label>label3</label>

Usage example


```

Example

The example below is the site.xml used by plugin to document itself

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bsc:site
    xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
    xmlns:bsc='https://github.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin'
    xsi:schemaLocation='https://github.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin/master/schemas/site-schema-6.9.xsd'>

    <home  uri="codehaus-home.confluence">

        <child name="Usage" uri="usage.confluence">
            <attachment name="gitlog-sample02.png" uri="../resources/images/gitlog-sample02.png" comment="gitlog to jira sample" contentType="image/png" version="1"></attachment>
        </child>

    </home>

    <label>maven</label>
    <label>confluence</label>
    <label>documentation</label>

</bsc:site>



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)

Using Freemarker in the Site Definition

See YAML definition for details. Freemarker is not dependent on the output format and can be used in the same fashion.
