Unable to remove cover type and version

Wendy, which release of maven are you using ? m1.0 or a beta/snapshot of m1.1 ?

It's fixed in SVN but I can't deploy snapshots for the moment. If you could test it from SVN then we can close this.

Thanks. That fixed the cover version, but not the cover type.

If I specify
maven.pdf.cover.type=

Then I get the text '-PARAM' where it normally says 'Project Documentation'. I want it to be blank.

I'm also having a problem with the cover date. I see this on the console:

[java] Invalid option: coverDate
[java] Invalid option: 26 October 2006

And it prints January 1, 1901 on the cover. I am not specifying the cover date anywhere.

This is with Maven 1.1-RC1-SNAPSHOT and maven-pdf-plugin 2.5.1-SNAPSHOT

Example project with pdf plugin configured. 'mvn site' will build the pdf.

I cannot reproduce any of the above, I see no problems in your test project with neither cover.type nor cover.date. Are you sure you are running the right version of the plugin? Are $MAVEN_HOME and $PATH set correctly? Did you try clearing your cache? (I'm just shooting in the dark here...) Oh, and I guess you meant 'maven site', right?

Yes, I meant 'maven site'.

$ echo $MAVEN_HOME
c:\java\maven-1.1-RC1-SNAPSHOT

$PATH contains $MAVEN_HOME/bin.

$ ll $MAVEN_HOME/plugins/ | grep pdf
rwx-----+ 1 wsmoak wsmoak 430109 Oct 26 12:05 maven-pdf-plugin-2.5.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

I'm using Maven 1.1-RC1, and I've build the pdf plugin from source. I'm fairly sure I've got the latest, because the recent fix for 'cover version' is working (I no longer see v1.0 on the cover).

Console output of building the plugin (after deleting the cache) and building the test project follows. The resulting PDF is attached.

Lukas, I reproduced (and fixed) it with wendy's testcase
In fact it's logical because there's no test arround the cover type attribute.
If maven.pdf.cover.type is empty or null, the generated command line will be :
.... -PARAM coverType -PARAM coverVersion ...
Thus coverType=-PARAM and coverVersion isn't used.
I just added the same test like for the version
<j:set var="_coverType" value="$

"/>
<j:if test="$

">
<arg value="-PARAM"/>
<arg value="coverType"/>
<arg value="${_coverType}"/>
</j:if>
And I removed the default value in project2fo.xslt
I'm not sure if we don't have to this test for each PARAM to be sure to not reproduce it later..

• To avoid problems, be sure to not use a -PARAM without arg
• Remove default hardcoded settings to allow users to remove them using an empty property

I still wonder why I couldn't reproduce it ... ?

I don't understand.
Are you a black cat ??
