JarCastingasciidoc-blog-maven-plugin
Introduction
I searched for a way to use the maven-site plugin somehow in a blog like way. That means I wanted to have multiple article/ blog post files which should then be generated into on single html static content page. I didn’t find a way to do this with the maven-site plugin directly so I decided to create a simple maven plugin which could read a YAML file which basically defines the blog posts and generates a main page from this. Also a simple paging is included into the plugin.
Build
$ mvn clean install
Release
$ mvn release:clean
$ mvn release:prepare
$ mvn release:perform
Usage
Add the following to your pom of a maven-site project:
<plugin>
<groupId>de.steffenrumpf</groupId>
<artifactId>asciidoc-template-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<definitionFileName>article_definition.yml</definitionFileName>
<outputFile>index</outputFile>
<pageSize>10</pageSize>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>generate_blog_posts</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Structure of article definition YAML file
Blog post must be just placed below src/site/ in a typicall maven project. The files can also be structured in folders. Every asciidoc file must define the following metadata:
:post-date: 25-11-20
The post-date will be used to bring all posts into order.
Example Site
My website http://www.steffen-rumpf.de is created using this plugin. The full code can also be found on github.
