In keeping with the Maven-or-Ant thread, it's time to think about switching
to the Maven-generated multi-project website.  James has had the "basic"
Maven-generated site available for a while now with the nightly builds.

I made a start on integrating the existing site with Maven's, and posted the
first draft here (also beside the nightly builds):

    http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/trunk/site-test/index.html

For now all the menus are expanded so you can see what's there.  The menu
structure and navigation are still under construction. :)

This involved copying the existing xml files from
/current/core/doc/  into /current/build/xdocs/, renaming the project.xml
files to navigation.xml, and doing some cleanup.  So, other than it being in
a different location in the repository, nothing changes about the way you
modify the documentation, and none of the links from other sites to ours
will be broken.

The main motivation for this was the realization that even if I update the
existing site, I have no idea what to do about the half-dozen sets of
JavaDoc.  Maintaining an index page and copying the JavaDoc out of each
sub-project isn't appealing, especially not when Maven will take care of it
for you.

The 'multiproject' part of the site is towards the bottom of the menu, under
'Projects'.  For example, here is the Project Reports section for Struts
Core:
    
http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/trunk/site-test/multiproject/struts-core/maven-reports.html
(And yes, I realize there's currently no way to get back to the main site
from here.)

What do you think?  Should this eventually become the "official" Struts
site?
