Method Detail

getNewsManager

public static NewsManager getNewsManager(org.codehaus.plexus.PlexusContainer container)
                                  throws VelocityNewsException

Throws:

VelocityNewsException

bindModelRealm

public static final void bindModelRealm(org.codehaus.plexus.PlexusContainer container)
                                 throws VelocityNewsException

This binds the site plugin to load all model classes from the news plugin class loader. In turn we can now look up the news plugin from the site plugin and retrieve the model to use it in the VelociMacro. This is a major kludge around the strange maven class hierarchy.

Throws:

VelocityNewsException
