Create doctype add-ons (OBRs) for the projectdoc Toolbox with Confluence Blueprints based on XML model descriptions easily!

version 1.9.4

Introduction

The Doctype Plugin for Maven supports teams to create doctypes for their agile documentation work.

Doctypes are templates for document instances defined for use with the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence. They are implemented as Confluence page blueprints.

We already published a number of doctypes for a number of use cases as free add-ons on the Atlassian Marketplace. The creation and maintenance of such blueprints is quite cumbersome.

This plugin uses a number of models to make the creation of blueprints easier. This not only includes blueprints for pages, but also blueprints for spaces.

Early Stage of Development

 

Currently the plugin is limited to support us to create doctype add-ons more quickly. This includes that there are a large number of constraints that meet our requirements, but cannot be tweaked by users outside of smartics. Please get in touch, if you have suggestions or you would like to make pull requests!

For a first impression how the doctype descriptors look like, here are some examples:

Discoverybility Example
An example of a simple type-like doctype.
Doctype with Type Example
An example of a doctype with a doctype-specific type.
Security View Example
A more detailed doctype declaration with non-standard properties and sections.
