(doc) Missing taglib documentation

[ppkarwasz]

The "Tag library reference" disappeared after version 2.17.1, while the "TLDDoc documentation" disappeared after version 2.17.2:

https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-taglib/index.html

The page is available under [https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-taglib.html], which is linked from the menu. That should be good enough for this hardly ever used component, right?

@vy,

The taglib-maven-plugin has been relaunched: https://github.com/weblegacy/taglib-maven-plugin
Maybe we could generate that part of the documentation again?

@ppkarwasz, mind elaborating on your proposal a bit, please? What exactly do you want to replace in the current setup with taglib-maven-plugins which functionality?

[ppkarwasz]

@vy,

Before version 2.17.2 the Log4j Taglib module had a:

• Tagreference documentation,
• TLDoc documentation.

We should be able to restore this documentation using the plugin from the weblegacy project.

The way I see this proposal is as follows:

We will add a Maven plugin configuration and probably HTML redirects (involving .htaccess edits and such) for a module that

1. after a long period of user feedback, is announced to be removed
2. nobody complained about its missing docs
3. Nexus stats indicate no usage

Hence, I give -1 for chasing this further. I would rather have a pom.xml that is clean from one more relic.

[ppkarwasz]

I agree with your arguments.
