A JBake project template

About JBake

JBake is a static site generator, it's inspired from jekyll and written in java. The basic idea is to have templates for the structure of the page, and the body generated from asciidoc content.

Pre requisites

  • Maven
  • JDK8+

Deploying to Github will require password less authentication.

This is done by exporting your SSH public key into your Github account.

Build the site locally

The site is generated under target/staging.

Open file:///PATH_TO_PROJECT_DIR/target/staging in a browser to view the site.

mvn generate-resources

Or you can invoke the JBake plugin directly.

mvn jbake:build

Rebuild the site on changes

mvn jbake:watch

If you keep this command running, changes to the sources will be detected and the site will be rendered incrementally.

This is convenient when writing content.

Serve the site locally

mvn jbake:serve

If a webserver is required (e.g. absolute path are used), this command will start a webserver (jetty) at http://localhost:8820. It will also watch for changes and rebuild incrementally.

Deploy the site to Github Pages

mvn deploy

Produce a zip file for download

To produce a zip file containing the generated html files, use:

mvn package

When making a release on GitHub, this zip file should be added to the release.
