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

• Repo for the tutorial content: https://github.com/jakartaee/jakartaee-tutorial/
• Repo for the documentation UI: https://github.com/jakartaee/jakartaee-documentation-ui/

• JDK
• Maven
• Ruby

JDK and Maven speak for themselves.

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

And finally install the asciidoctor-pdf gem:

gem install asciidoctor-pdf

To build, run:

mvn clean package

The output will be in target/generated-docs. To view, just open target/generated-docs/jakartaee-tutorial/current/index.html in a browser.

browse target/generated-docs/jakartaee-tutorial/current/index.html

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 beforehand:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Or to make sure this is executed every time you open a new terminal.

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. Read Use Author Mode :: Antora Docs for details.

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.

browse target/generated-docs/jakartaee-tutorial/current/index.html

This site is currently deployed via GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions. For details, see the workflow file.
