project.bugtracking-url

Hi!

I found the following in forrest.properties (Forrest-0.8).

# The bugtracking URL - the issue number will be appended
# Projects would use their own issue tracker, of course.
#project.bugtracking-url=http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=
#project.bugtracking-url=http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/

This parameter gets used in status.xml, e.g.
<action dev="DC" type="fix" context="code" fixes-bug="FOR-973">
inserts the following link
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-973

Is there a way to use this inside other documents as well?
e.g. like this
<external-refs>
<bugtracker href={project.bugtracker-url}/>
</external-refs>
and reference within a document like
<a href="site:bugtracker#1234"/>
(without adding all big-ids in site.xml)
or maybe
<a href="bug:1234"/>

Thanks,
Johannes

Quick and dirty solution:

add a pre-process step to the site.xml pipeline that inserts property
values (all properties are accessible in the sitemap)

I'm sure there is a better way though - my mind is blank right now. This
is right up Thorstens street though.

lol

which street do you refer. ;)

The above "fixes-bug="FOR-973"" is done in the projectInfo plugin and
got injected via the sitemap (like already pointed out by ross).

ATM I have not a better idea either.
