understanding where to look in your document source.</para>

<title xml:id="section_template_debug_structure_error_title">Project structure errors</title>
<para>Because the OpenPOWER Foundation documentation projects are not self-contained in the
GitHub repositories, forgetting to clone the <literal>Docs-Master</literal> project in addition
to the document project or cloning it in the wrong location is a common problem. Failures of this kind
produce the following error:</para>
<screen>...
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]
[ERROR] The project org.openpowerfoundation.docs:workgroup-pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (/home/scheel/Docs-Template/pom.xml) has 1 error

[ERROR]
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:

[ERROR] [Help 2] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/UnresolvableModelException
...</screen>
<para>The identifying characteristic of this error type is the message, "Non-resolvable parent POM". This occurs because the
<literal>pom.xml</literal> file in the documentation project, called the "workgroup-pom" because of a project
<literal>&lt;artifactId>workgroup-pom&lt;/artifactId></literal> declaration, expects its parent pom file to be in the
location defined by the <literal>&lt;relativePath>../Docs-Master/pom.xml&lt;/relativePath></literal>, up one directory and
then in the <literal>Docs-Master</literal> director.
</para>
<para>So, if you see the message "Non-resolvable parent POM", ensure that the <literal>Docs-Master</literal> project
and your project have been cloned
into the same parent directory. See <xref linkend="section_cloning_master_doc"/> for detailed directions on how to do this.</para>

<para>Validation errors are generally indicated in the build output with text like the following:

Note: Open the temporary file:

You must correct the errors in the original
source DocBook or wadl files however.
You can control whether build fails or not by
setting failOnValidationError to no in your pom.

<para>This error message contains three key pieces of information:</para>
<orderedlist>

<listitem>
<para>The location within the file of the syntax error. For the above example, the key information is "<literal>lineNumber: 272; columnNumber: 70</literal>.</para>
<note><para>In some XML validation failure scenarios, the <literal>lineNumber</literal> or

...</screen></para>
<para>The "<literal>org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException</literal>" text indicates that this error was during FO validation. The key pieces of information are as follows:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The error type is indicated in the text following the exception indictor. In our case, the error statement is:
<literal>"{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}block" is not a valid child of "fo:list-block"!</literal>. This error clearly
has something to do with the nesting of a "fo:block" statement in a "fo:list-block" statement.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The location of the validation error is given in the statement
"<literal>See position 70:-1</literal>". These two values are the line number and character number of the error. So, our sample
error occurs on line 70, but the character number
of <literal>-1</literal> is an indication that the line is too long to effectively point.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>What this information fails to detail is which file has the problem. To find the particular offending file, one must understand
the Docbook build process. This process begins by collecting all XML into a working copy of the main book file. The build failure error
in <xref linkend="section_template_debug_docbook_validation_error"/> includes a reference to this file which will be found in the
<literal>.../target/</literal> directory. It generally has the same name as the main book file of the document, which if copied
from the <citetitle>Documentation Development Guide</citetitle> project, will be <literal>bk_main.xml</literal>. When in doubt about
this file name, you will find it in the <literal>&lt;includes></literal> tag in the <literal>pom.xml</literal> file.</para>
<para>Once all information has been pulled into the working XML file, the XML statements are transformed into FO statements
in preparation for building the PDF. This step generates a <literal>.fo</literal>
file which can be found in the <literal>.../target/docbkx/autopdf/</literal> directory and typically has the same base file name as
the target PDF file. Again, the <literal>pom.xml</literal> file will clarify this name with the <literal>&lt;pdfFilenameBase></literal>
variable.</para>
<para>If one locates and opens the .fo file, it becomes obvious that it was intended as a working file and is not readily readable. Therefore, the first
step to understanding this error is to make the FO file more readable.
The <literal>xmllint</literal> tool can be used to create a more readable FO file. Assuming you have been
working in the document directory, the follow steps can be used to produce a more readable XML file:
<screen><prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>cd target/docbkx/autopdf</userinput>
<prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>xmllint --nonet --noent --nowarning --version --timing --format -o outfile infile</userinput>
xmllint: using libxml version 20901

Parsing took 63 ms
Saving took 39 ms
Freeing took 9 ms
<prompt>$</prompt></screen></para>
<para>For your invocation of <literal>xmllint</literal>, substitute <literal>infile</literal> with the name of the Maven-generated
.fo file for your new project and pick a new <literal>outfile</literal> for the new .fo file.</para>
<note><para>The <literal>xmllint</literal> utility may need to be loaded on your system. On an Ubuntu Linux system,
this utility is provided in the <literal>libxml2-utils</literal> package. To locate the proper package for your system,
you may need to reference Google.</para></note>
<para>Now, with a nicely formatted FO file, we can re-invoke the FO Processor (FOP) directly and achieve a more readable error. To do this, invoke
<literal>fop</literal> as follows:<screen><prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>fop -fo fofile and -pdf pdffile</userinput>

Rendered page #2.
Rendered page #3.

Exception
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "fo:block" is not a valid child of "fo:list-block"! (See position 7830:112)
<prompt>$</prompt></screen></para>
<para>As expected, the FOP again reports an exception. However, this time the position information appears more complete. With this new information
and a nicely formatted .fo file, one can find the format statements in error, find the context for the error, and then locate the correct source
DocBook (XML) file. With this information, one can inspect the document source to decide if the error is bad DocBook syntax or a tooling bug. If the latter,
please save the newly formatted .fo file and include it in the bug writeup.</para>
<note><para>This error generally indicates a problem with documentation tooling. If you encounter such a situation,
please post to the Documentation Development mailing list at <email>syssw-doc_devel_guide@mailinglist.openpowerfoundation.org</email>
so they can assist in identifying the exact cause of the failure.</para>
<para>If you wish to fully understanding the error, you may require knowing more about XSL FO syntax. Many such web sites exist for this, but
the <citetitle>XSL Formatting Objects Summary</citetitle> from W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) provides a good starting reference online at
<link xlink:href="https://www.w3.org/2002/08/XSLFOsummary.html">https://www.w3.org/2002/08/XSLFOsummary.html</link>.</para></note>

<title xml:id="section_template_debug_java_awt_error_title">Java AWT exception</title>
<para>Use of Maven in headless environments from Mac OS has uncovered an intermittent exception in the AWT libraries.
This error looks like the following:<screen>...
