Goals

Use the following command to build the LaTeX documentation:

mvn latex:latex

FAQs

• My references are undefined: Check if your backend in LaTeX is the same as specified in the pom (bibtex configuration)
• I have no references at all: The name of the bibtex file needs to be the same as the main latex file. If your main latex file is named sample.tex, the bibfile needs to be sample.bib.

Options

• latex.docsRoot=... the directory with the documentation, default: src/main/latex
• latex.commonsDirName=... the directory with the common LaTeX sources, default: common
• latex.binariesPath=... the directory with LaTeX binaries
• latex.bibtex=... the name of the bibtex binary (eg bibtex8 or biber instead of bibtex)
• latex.skipBuild=true|false for skipping the build, default: false
• latex.forceBuild=true|false for forcing the build, default: false
• latex.dummyBuild=true|false for creating dummy PDFs (eg if no LaTeX present), default: false
• latex.extraRuns=... to run pdflatex more times than normal, default: 0
