Goals available for this plugin:

GoalDescription
cloudfront:updateoriginbucket

This mojo updates a bucket serving as an origin for a Cloud Front distribution. It generates an html directory listing for each "directory" in the bucket and stores the html under a key in the bucket such that a regular http request for a directory returns the html instead of the XML for "object does not exist" Amazon would normally return. For example: The url "http://www.mybucket.com/foo/bar" returns an html page containing a listing of all the files and directories under "foo/bar" in the bucket.

If a directory contains an object with a key that is the same as the default object, the plugin copies the object to a key representing the directory structure. For example, the url "http://www.mybucket.com/foo/bar/index.html" represents an object in an S3 bucket under the key "foo/bar/index.html". This plugin will copy the object from the key "foo/bar/index.html" to the key "foo/bar/". This causes the url "http://www.mybucket.com/foo/bar/" to return the same content as the url "http://www.mybucket.com/foo/bar/index.html"

It also generates an html directory listing at the root of the bucket hierarchy and places that html into the bucket as the default object, unless a default object already exists.
