maven-pdf-plugin

I'm just in the middle of revisiting maven. Our team had a bad experience when we last looked at this, as it was during the period when maven was rearchitecting from 1.x to 2.x, so a lot of the dependencies we needed hadn't been moved across to the new repositories. However, I have the time to reconsider now. I am interested in using maven and either LaTeX or DocBook for creating documentation, and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences to share, project/module structure, good plugins to use, etc... Many thanks :-) Edit: Just to clarify, I was looking to write a technical article/book,

after running my JUnit tests I use the Maven Surefire Report plugin (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-report-plugin/) to generate a HTML test report. This results in the following file: ./target/site/surefire-report.html I know that there is a Maven PDF plugin to generate PDF files (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pdf-plugin/surefire-report.html). But I don't manage to get it working. I included it in my pom.xml: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-pdf-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>pdf</id> <phase>test</phase> <goals>

I have written extensive JavaDoc documentation on my application, and added lots of useful info at overview.html and package.html files (including links on the former to illustrations in doc-files/ ). Maven's Javadoc plugin nicely uses the standard javadoc tool to generate the classic JavaDoc frameset, but now I need to generate a PDF with the whole documentation. AurigaDoclet generates very pretty PDFs, and I was able to make DocFlex work also. However, both ignore my overview.html and package.html files (tried both inside and outside Maven - the PDF will be a once-only thing, since I'd
