How to configure my plug-in as print type?

[Toshihiko Makita]

Hi All,

I have a my PDF plug-in that have following plugin.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plugin id="com.antennahouse.pdf5">
  <feature extension="dita.conductor.transtype.check" value="pdf5" type="pdf"/>
  <feature extension="dita.conductor.target.relative" value="integrator.xml" type="file"/>
  <feature extension="dita.transtype.print" value="pdf5"/>
</plugin>

According to the DITA Open Toolkit Developer Reference I think it is enough.

But if I build the following map, topics/p_print_printonly.xml is rejected from "gen-list" processing. As a result several errors occured in the [mappull] process.

Are there any mistakes in my plug-in setting?

- My plug-in can be downloaded from GitHib.

- I attached test data and log file.

Please give me your advice.

Hi Radu,

Thank you for your investigation. Before your post I also received the mail from my user that the problem has solved when he manually maintain [DITA-OT]/lib/dost-configuration.jar by himself.

According to the upcoming DITA 1.3 spec @print attribute will be deprecated. So I advised to the user not to use @print attribute.

I think that implementing @print="printonly" is not so important. It should be resolved by select attribute or its specialization.

Anyway I appreciate your help.

Hi Toshihiko,
I took a look at your plugin and it seems to be properly built.
Your plugin.xml advertises itself as a print plugin using:

<feature extension="dita.transtype.print" value="pdf5"/>

After the integrator is run, if you look in the "DITA-OT\lib\org.dita.dost.platform\plugin.properties", it will be changed to also list the "pdf5" plugin as a print transtype:
print_transtypes=pdf2;pdf;pdf5;legacypdf;d4pjournals;odt
But there's a problem, in the DITA OT folder there is a JAR library:
DITA-OT\lib\dost-configuration.jar
which contains an older copy of the plugin.properties.
For example if you rename that JAR to have some other extension, your plugin should be interpreted as a print-type plugin.
I'm not sure what the intention was with that "dost-configuration.jar" there, I will try to get some feedback from Jarno Elovirta, ideally the integrator would also re-build the JAR.

Radu
