Description

« Hide

The documentation http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jelly/tutorial.html I found confusing for the jelly swing section. I kept typing maven demo:swing and it didn't work.

I tried it and then it did, the key was to be in /src/jelly-tags/swing as the goals are provided by the maven.xml file there.

I have attached a patch that updates the documentation a bit.

The docs aren't confusing... they are wrong.

The project website fails to reflect that Jelly has moved out of the sandbox and into the main jakarta-commons (even though it happened some time ago...) Very irratating to checkout the sandbox and not find what I was looking for.

You also need to build the jar ("maven jar" in the jelly root dir) before you can run the demo.

"maven -g" is no help either. Maybe I'm blind, or it was lost in the myriad of other possible maven goals on my system, but I saw no goals for demo:swing

I'm giving Jelly the benefit of the doubt, since it's under the Jakarta umbrella... If it wasn't I'd have just given up. What a pain in the rear just to demo.
