I'd like to remove the possibility of using the src dir to add skins, as it does not favor reuse. That's why I added the auto download of skin packages. > I'd like to be able to have an external location (any specified directory) > that forrest will look for skins. Is this a good idea? The fetch-skins system is done exactly for this task. What happens is that the skins are packaged in a zip, referenced in a descriptor on the forrest site and auto downloaded in the currently installed Forrest when needed. What you need to do to use it is explained briefly here: http://xml.apache.org/forrest/skin-package.html -- Nicola Ken Barozzi nicolaken@apache.org - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
