Building WildFly Documentation

Table of Contents

Overview

The docs module is not in the module listing of the parent POM by default. Therefore to build you must either activate the docs profile or be in the docs directory to build the documentation. This documentation assumes you’re in the docs directory.

You can activate the docs profile from the root directory with either -Pdocs or -Ddocs=true.

Configuring the POM

In the POM there are currently 4 main properties:

  1. appservername

  2. javaee_version

  3. oracle-javadoc

  4. wildflyversion

Currently the only property that may need to be changed is the wildflyversion property. This defaults to the property product.docs.server.version which can be found in the parent POM. It already should be set to the current major version, but should likely be checked.

Building the documentation

Building the documentation can be done with the following command:

Generate Only
mvn clean package
Generate and Copy
mvn clean package -Pcopy-site

The asciidoctor-maven-plugin will execute and generate html5 files. The files are generated in the target/generated-docs directory. You can optionally activate the copy-site profile to copy the generated site. See copy site option 2 for more details

Adding the documentation to docs.wildfly.org

Clone wildfly.github.io Repository

The first thing required here is a clone of the https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly.github.io repository. Once cloned it’s likely best to checkout a new branch for to update the documentation.

Copy Site

Copying the site can be done one of two ways:

  1. You can manually copy the target/generated-site from the docs directory of WildFly over to the wildfly.github.io repository. This should be copied into a version directory. For example 16 for WildFly 16.

  2. You can run the build with mvn clean package -Pcopy-site which by default attempts to copy the site to ../../wildfly.github.io/${product.docs.server.version}. This can be overridden with the wildfly.github.io.dir property.

Add Copied Content

Once copied you’ll need to add the directory to the git repository; git add ./16 for example.

Edit and Build Index

Next in the wildfly.github.io repository you’ll need to edit the index.adoc and add the newly created directory. We try to keep the listings in release order with the new release on top.

Once you edit the index.adoc you’ll need to regenerate the index.html file. This can be done with the asciidoctor command.

asciidoctor index.adoc

After all that is complete you can commit your changes and submit a PR.
