We released the Apptools Maven Plugin in version 0.10.0!

This plugin for Maven is used to interface with the Universal Plugin Manager's (UPM) REST API to deploy apps (formerly known as add-ons or plugins) to a remote Confluence server. It is a tool for developers to deploy a number of JARs/OBRs to an environment, like development, test, pre-production. The plugin may operate on a single project, handling the artifact of this project, or may be based on a POM project that defines a set of apps to be deployed to different environments.

For more information please visit the tool's website !

 

To use the new Timestamped Version feature for snapshot versions, consider to use the buildmetadata-maven-plugin with version 1.7.0.

for the projectdoc Toolbox.

The short tip shows how to employ a special version of transclusion with the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence.

What is projectdoc?

The projectdoc Toolbox is a collection of a large number of tools to help teams to create modular, agile documentation collaboratively and with fun. The toolbox is an add-on for Confluence and is available on the Atlassian Marketplace.

The tools in the projectdoc Toolbox consist basically of macros, doctypes, and a handful of conventions. The number of these tools is overwhelming, especially for new users.
