Thanks for the info Marc. It seems that build.xml does not contain a 'dist' target. How do I go about running a 'build dist'? I'm on NT4 by the way.

Regards

Michael

Hi,

after running the "build dist" on forrest you should install
(copy) the build/dist/shbat into a directory you called
FORREST_HOME through some environment variable

from then you can use $FORREST_HOME/forrest.sh site in any
directory to start forrest-building the documentation there (to a
relative dir ./build/site/)

the projects that want to hook it up into their existing ant
build.xml (like you) can use some target allong the lines of:

   <target name="docs"  description="Generates the documentation">
     <property environment="ENV" />
     <property name="forrest.home" value="${ENV.FORREST_HOME}" />
     <ant antfile="${forrest.home}/forrest.build.xml"
          target="site" />
   </target>

(as you see the actual forrest-building is done through an
underlaying ant script, just try not to get confused by this :-S)


when forrest-building your documentation like this
it is assumed that your project-home is the current dir (normally
the basedir for your build.xml, which is probably what you want)
the generated docs would go to ./build/site by default

this and other defaults can be modified by using some
forrest.properties file that will be picked up by the
forrest.build.xml

let us know if this theory fails to work in practice :-)

The question is, how do we go about this? We have existing Cocoon apps, complete with ANT build scripts. I need to integrate Forrest into this so that it becomes another target in our build scripts. The current samples generate Forrest documentation, but I can't find any details on how to integrate Forrest with an existing application.
