My first Maven plugins

I suppose you never forget your first Maven plugin. I’ve created two, and they’re both sync’d to Maven Central.

The first takes a description of Java Swing controls with configurations and creates image files of them for use in documentation.

The second allows the output of the docbkx plugin, which is the most full-featured of the several DocBook plugins to be run through a filter to apply Doxia-like headers, navigation menus, and footers. It does this without stripping all the good DocBook formatting that the Maven site plugin’s docbook-light plugin does.

I’m pretty pleased.

They’re a bit rough around the edges, but quite usable. See my projects page for more details. And see the Sea Glass client properties page for an example of the use of both.
