I understand what everyone's saying here and I'm not arguing about the
Maverick framework design as I actually like it a lot (and I think I
understand the basics fairly well at this early stage as the demos are
fairly good). The issue is I'm not a Java programmer and I'm plunging into
the deep end of the pool in learning both the concepts behind the framework
and Java at the same time. I don't believe the "use the source, Luke"
approach to documentation is as strong as presenting simple clear
documentation and FAQ's at any level. Once I've got my head around the
framework and Java I can make an informed decision as to what framework to
choose out of the plethora of framework options that we are looking at and
good documentation certainly helps in this process.

As to Jeff's suggestion about "documentation patches eagerly accepted", if
Maverick's the way our company decides to go, and I've got the time I'll
take up the request to contribute...:-)

On a different note I found Maverick works quite seamlessly with Tomcat but
Tomcat should really be called "Tomdog" it's so slow. Much better
performance with Resin but only after I switched to Apache Xerces/Xalan to
do all the XSLT stuff as I got constant exceptions using the default Resin
XSL libraries. Has anybody encountered this problem as well?

Cheers,
Marcel
