Summary

Modernize the DOAP publishing documentation so it no longer directs users to obsolete directories and services.

Changes

  • Explain that a stable HTTP(S) URL is the key publishing requirement.
  • Document publishing through a generated Maven site and advertising the RDF file with a rel="meta" link.
  • Replace obsolete SVN/catalog examples with a current, service-neutral sharing example.

Testing

  • mvn -Dspotless.apply.skip=true -Dspotless.check.skip=true test — passed (15 tests)
  • mvn -Dspotless.apply.skip=true -Dspotless.check.skip=true -DskipTests verify — passed
  • mvn -Dspotless.apply.skip=true -Dspotless.check.skip=true -DskipTests site:site — passed
  • git diff --check — passed

Fixes #188

Rebased onto latest master and resolved the documentation conflict while preserving the publishing guidance. Validation: git diff --check; Maven packaging was run in the repair environment.

Updated in 138ac70 and merged the latest upstream master changes. The publishing guidance now refers to the generated RDF document at a stable URL, uses “a link element in the HTML header such as”, and removes the unnecessary example heading.

Validation: mvn -DskipTests -Dspotless.check.skip=true -Dspotless.apply.skip=true package passed and git diff --check passed.

Rebased onto current master and pushed as 77a320f. Removed the HTML-header <link> example per review, retained the stable RDF URL guidance and the note that no central DOAP directory is required, and preserved the documentation link cleanup. git diff --check passes.

you might need to push;

not sure why you removed the link example. That is not what I meant. I was just referring to the wording.

Updated the existing branch in 48dd721.

  • Restored the HTML <link> example.
  • Kept the clarified wording around “a link element in the HTML header such as”.
  • Fixed the run-on opening paragraph and retained the stable RDF URL / no-central-directory guidance.

Validation: mvn -DskipTests -Dspotless.check.skip=true -Dspotless.apply.skip=true package passed and git diff --check passed. The normal Spotless apply path is blocked locally by the only installed Java 8 runtime and the formatter’s JCTree incompatibility; CI has the supported JDK matrix.

Pushed a new documentation fix at b7773ec. The run-on output-directory sentence is now split into two sentences, and the HTML link example remains unchanged. git diff --check passes; Maven validation could not run because this checkout has no Maven wrapper and Maven is not installed locally. The remote PR HEAD now points to b7773ec.

Applied the remaining wording fix in 3892fc9: removed only the redundant # Example heading. The stable RDF URL guidance and HTML <link> example are preserved. Maven package validation and git diff --check pass on the current branch; pushed to the existing fork branch. Please re-review.
