This software offers diverse tools to facilitate DocBook within Maven setup.
The Docbkx Maven Plugin project is a helpful resource for those looking to use DocBook in a Maven environment. While Maven 2 does support DocBook natively through Doxia, this support is quite limited. The DocBook plugin at mojo.codehaus.org supports a wider range of DocBook markup but requires manual installation of a specific version of the DocBook XSL stylesheets.
This is where the Docbkx Maven Plugin project shines. Its focus is on ease of use and eliminates the need for additional installations by simply adding a reference to the plugin in your POM. Additionally, this project provides dedicated support for specific DocBook XSL stylesheet distributions, making parameterization much easier.
Unlike the DocBook plugin at mojo.codehaus.org, the plugins in this project come pre-packaged with the stylesheets. A particular version of the stylesheets is closely tied to a specific version of the plugin, making parameterization easier to understand.
Finally, the Docbkx Maven Plugin project eliminates the need for internet access to resolve URIs by allowing for the addition of a dependency to a jar file containing the DTD and related entities. In summary, the Docbkx Maven Plugin project is an excellent choice for those looking to work with DocBook in a Maven environment with ease and convenience in mind.
