Reflow is an Apache Maven site skin built on Bootstrap. It allows various structural and stylistic customizations to create a modern-looking Maven-generated website.

To get started and see how the skin looks by default, check out http://andriusvelykis.github.io/reflow-maven-skin!

Usage

To use this Maven skin, include it in your site.xml file:

<project>
  ...
  <skin>
    <groupId>lt.velykis.maven.skins</groupId>
    <artifactId>reflow-maven-skin</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
  </skin>
  ...
</project>

The skin requires accompanying Reflow Velocity tools (reflow-velocity-tools) to be available when generating Maven site. Add them as a dependency to maven-site-plugin in your POM file:

<build>
  <plugins>
    ...
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.3</version>
      <dependencies>
        ...
        <dependency>
          <groupId>lt.velykis.maven.skins</groupId>
          <artifactId>reflow-velocity-tools</artifactId>
          <version>1.1.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- Reflow skin requires Velocity >= 1.7  -->
        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.apache.velocity</groupId>
          <artifactId>velocity</artifactId>
          <version>1.7</version>
        </dependency>
        ...
      </dependencies>
      ...
    </plugin>
    ...
  </plugins>
</build>

Note that Apache Velocity 1.7 is also required by the template.

The skin is provided on the "works on my computer" basis at the moment. I am using the newest versions of maven-site-plugin and other components and at the moment do not have any feedback on using the skin with Maven 2 site or other configurations.

Configuration

The skin is configurable using the <custom><reflowSkin> element in your site.xml file. Refer to documentation for all configuration options.

A sample configuration file is given below:

<project>
  ...
  <custom>
    <reflowSkin>
      <theme>bootswatch-spacelab</theme>
      <brand>
        <name>My Project</name>
        <href>http://andriusvelykis.github.io/reflow-maven-skin/</href>
      </brand>
