Making JavaDocs available with GitHub, Sonatype Maven repo [closed]

Answer 1

You can use a shell script to do the git checkout/add/commit/checkout/push as Jake Wharton suggested, and configure Ant or Gradle to run the shell script after it generates the javadoc. I'm not sure this would work with Maven. Here's an example shell script.

Answer 2

There is now a Maven plugin that can push a directory to a particular branch on githib at: http://github.com/github/maven-plugins.

Answer 3

You can use the github pages, creating a static web site then you put your javadoc in a directory and commmit to gh-pages branch.

see the Git hub pages, its simple and useful.

Answer 4

GitHub serves static HTML files that are in the gh-pages branch of your repo at http://your_username.github.com/your_repo/. In theory, Maven could be made to do the following:

1. Commit the release pom.xml.
2. Generate the JavaDocs to a .gitignore'd directory (so it would be preserved across branch changes).
3. Checkout the gh-pages branch.
4. Replace all of the files in the working directory with that of the directory the JavaDocs were copied to
5. Commit
6. Checkout the original branch.
7. Continue with release...

I'm only two days in to using Maven for a few of my projects so this is way beyond my capabilities. I'd be eager to see this implemented either with existing plugins or a custom plugin.
