Find attached a typical Book Template which builds in both publican and maven. Added pom.xml file used by maven as a config file for the book. Request to include the Makefile and pom.xml automatically when creating new books to allow users to build books in both Publican and Maven.
Created attachment 309217 [details] Book Template that builds in both publican and maven.
While I am happy to work with developers of other tool chains to maintain and improve compatibility, I am not prepared to introduce files unrelated to publican in to the publican source. The correct approach to this would be for the developers of the other tool chain to write a script to create pom.xml from the contents of the Makefile and Book_Info.xml. This would be a much more useful approach given the large number of existing documents using publican.
