Documentation: add info on WAR and static build #19

Closed pdaengeli closed 7 years ago

pdaengeli commented 7 years ago

The documentation mentions the possibilities to build to WAR and static (at components.rst), but more specific information is missing. Let me know if there is a better way to do this than what I sketched here.

Btw, great to see the recent activity here!

No need to change the default target (unless to be able to double-click the BAT file in Windows, I guess; anyone building a WAR or static version of the site is likely to be comfortable using a command shell or similar), just specify the target as an argument:

./build.sh static ./build.sh war

Also, the war target doesn't require the site to be running, as far as I can see. I'll admit that I've never made use of either option on any real project.

Both commands are working, cool. A hint in the documentation would be helpful, I think, as a static build may be nice to make smaller projects portable and (relatively) future proof.

I agree, the war target should work on its own.

Thanks for this contribution!
