Important update: August 31, 2018

On August 31, 2018, this kie-docs repository that contains KIE community and Red Hat Business Automation documentation was updated to enable shared content between KIE community and Red Hat Business Automation enterprise documentation, to remove obsolete content, and to prepare for an improved content building tool coming soon (Aura).

To get the latest changes made to this kie-docs repository, delete your local kie-docs master branch, pull the new kie-docs master to your cloned repository, and force push to your fork:

$ cd ~/kie-docs/
$ git checkout <branch-other-than-master>
$ git branch -d master
$ git fetch --all
$ git checkout --track <upstream-repo-name>/master
$ git push --set-upstream <fork-name> master

WARNING: Do not rebase your existing master branch against kie-docs master branch to get the latest updates. The new master is substantially restructured, so rebasing creates extensive conflicts that, even when resolved, can introduce errors into the new structure.

To access legacy content from the former master branch, use the branch backup-master-2018.08.31.

Summary of KIE documentation changes

Note the following changes that apply to KIE community documentation as a result of the repository update:

• New kie-docs repository structure: The kie-docs repository has been restructured to prepare for an improved content building tool coming soon (Aura) and to enable shared content between KIE community and Red Hat Business Automation enterprise documentation. Within the doc-content directory, the community drools-docs, jbpm-docs, and optaplanner-wb-es-docs folders continue to be in a Maven structure as before that supports a mvn clean install -Dfull build. All content files in community folders are or can now be used in enterprise assembly builds from the assemblies folder for the Red Hat Customer Portal. Content files in the enterprise-only folder either apply only to Red Hat Business Automation products or are files that have not yet been reconciled with community content. Each content folder contains sub-directories divided roughly by subject matter.
• Centralized _images directory: Going forward, save all new images to only the central kie-docs/_images directory instead of in separate sub-directories within the community content folders. Existing images have been moved already, or deleted if unused. Any images that you save outside of that central images folder will not be rendered in the output.
• Removed :imagesdir: declaration in modules: Going forward, do not specify an :imagesdir: declaration in any module files or in any KIE community index.adoc assembly files. The images directory specification is now configured globally in the KIE community project pom.xml settings, and directs to the central kie-docs/_images directory. Only Red Hat Business Automation main.adoc assembly files require an :imagesdir: specification.
