Jakarta EE Documentation

This is the repo for building the Jakarta EE Documentation site (from different repos); currently this consists of the Jakarta EE Tutorial and Eclipse Cargo Tracker.

Prerequisites

The tools below are all required for building this project.

Maven drives the entire process, requires the Java Development Kit (JDK). Asciidoctor, which processes the documentation content, requires Ruby. Antora, which builds the documentation site (using YAML configuration), uses Node.js and npm, but Maven automatically handles installation and execution.

NOTE: We assume you're using a UNIX/Linux shell such as bash, zsh, or sh. On Windows, we assume you're using Git Bash or Windows Subsystem for Linux. If not, you'll have to translate these commands to PowerShell or Command Prompt commands.

Setup

JDK

Any recent JDK will do. If you don't have a Java installed, you can get a recent version here: https://jdk.java.net/. If you want to manage multiple JDKs on your system, consider using SDKMan or jenv.

Maven

Any recent version of Maven will do. If you don't have it installed, download Maven and then install it manually by following these directions.

Ruby

If ruby -v returns something like Command 'ruby' not found then read the instructions to install "RVM stable".

Summarized:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Finally, you will also need to install the asciidoctor-pdf gem:

gem install asciidoctor-pdf

Building

To build, run:

mvn clean package

If you face a build failure with the following log entry as the last one before the failure, basically saying "Command not found: asciidoctor-pdf":

[INFO] {"level":"fatal","time":1684333903235,"name":"antora","hint":"Add the --stacktrace option to see the cause of the error.","msg":"Command not found: asciidoctor-pdf"}

Then you need to run this command beforehand:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

You will need to make sure this is executed every time you open a new terminal. You could also simply add the script to your login profile.

Viewing Output

Author Mode

Antora supports an Author Mode that lets you work with local branches and your local worktree. This requires that you keep a local copy of antora-playbook.yml as local-antora-playbook.yml.

We recommend cloning other repos which have content you want to modify. For example, let's say you want to modify content in the jakartaee-tutorial and cargotracker repos.

You'd clone the repos in the same parent folder as this repo, so you'd end up with this directory structure:

├── parent-directory
    ├── jakartaee-documentation/
    └── jakartaee-tutorial/
    └── cargotracker/

You can Use Author Mode :: Antora Docs for details, but here is the summary of the process:

  1. Copy and paste antora-playbook.yml in same folder as local-antora-playbook.yml.
  2. In case you wish to use a different jakartaee-tutorial branch, edit the content entry.
    • In case you wish to use the current local repo and branch: 
      content:
  sources:
  - url: ../jakartaee-tutorial
    start_paths:
      - src/main/antora
    branches:
      - HEAD
    • In case you wish to use a different remote branch, e.g. when you have forked the jakartaee-tutorial repo: 
      content:
  sources:
  - url: https://github.com/yourGitUserName/jakartaee-tutorial.git
    start_paths:
      - src/main/antora
    branches:
      - yourBranchName
  3. In case you wish to use a different cargotracker branch, edit the content entry.
    • In case you wish to use the current local repo and branch: 
      content:
  sources:
    - url: ../cargotracker
      start_paths:
        - src/main/antora
      branches:
        - docs
    • In case you wish to use a different remote branch, e.g. when you have forked the cargotracker repo: 
      content:
  sources:
  - url: https://github.com/yourGitUserName/cargotracker.git
    start_paths:
      - src/main/antora
    branches:
      - yourBranchName
  4. In case you wish to use a different jakartaee-documentation-ui bundle, edit the ui entry.
    • In case you wish to use the locally built jakartaee-documentation-ui bundle as instructed in "Package the UI" section of the README over there: 
      ui:
  output_dir: _
  bundle:
    url: ../jakartaee-documentation-ui/build/ui-bundle.zip
    snapshot: true
      Note that this assumes that you have the UI repo checked out in the same parent folder as the current repo.
    • In case you wish to use a different release, e.g. when you have forked the jakartaee-documentation-ui repo: 
      ui:
  output_dir: _
  bundle:
    url: https://github.com/yourGitUserName/jakartaee-documentation-ui/releases/download/latest/ui-bundle.zip
    snapshot: true

Once you've created the local-antora-playbook.yml file, you can use the author-mode Maven profile:

mvn compile -Pauthor-mode

The output will still be in the same location, but it'll be generated from your local clone of the repos instead of the remote.

You can then view it as described in the Viewing Output section above.
