Introduction

The Maven https://maven.apache.org website is composed from:

• a main content,
• multiple components reference documentation, published for each component release.

And Doxia website has the same dual structure.

These contents are stored in svn, and svnpubsub/svnwcsub maintains a working copy on the webservers in /www/maven.apache.org/content (see svnwcsub configured in infra Puppet):

• / comes from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/website/content/
• /components comes from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/website/components/
• /doxia comes from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/doxia/website/content/
• /doxia/components comes from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/doxia/website/components/

and the link between main content and components reference documentation (for example from /plugins/maven-xxx-plugin to internal /components/plugins/maven-xxx-plugin) is done with symbolic links. These links are configured in components.links files in content/resources/ and subdirectories, for example plugins/components.links.

How website publication works

Instructions on how to publish website content are split in separate documents:

• on every main content source commit (maven-site.git and maven-doxia-site.git), main content rebuild and publish is triggered through Jenkins jobs ( maven-site job and doxia-site job), which basically run mvn site-deploy (it can be run locally if CI is off...),
• on every Maven component release, release manager follows "deploying Maven components reference documentation", eventually using Component Reference Documentation Helper to easily prepare svnmucc command line.

Analytics

As part of Privacy enhancements, the whole Maven site is moving to Apache's Analytics infrastructure: see Maven statistics.
