在Maven POM的描述中是否可以包含格式（即HTML）？

Question

I'd like to have useful urls and a bit of tidiness in the description and other text fields of my Maven generated site.

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

If we are talking about maven-site-plugin , you can customize your site by modifying the default template , which uses Velocity as template engine, by specifying something like this:

    <configuration>
      <templateFile>${basedir}/maven-site.vm</templateFile>
    </configuration>

Reference documentation here .

Also, keep in mind from their documentation, this method has downsides.

Note: If you use this method then skins and the default templates, CSS and images are disabled. It is therefor highly recommended that you package this as a skin instead.

EDIT: You can add CDATA tag to include more sofisticated description like so:

<description>
    <![CDATA[
        <p>This is a description including html tags and whatnot</p>
    ]]>
</description>
