The JXR task has been reworked in Maven and works fairly well. No one has touched the JXR code in years except me as far as I know. The output looks like this: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/xref/org/apache/maven/index.html > Given that this tool must potentially xref many thousands (or millions) > of files, I'm curious how you manage the symbol references without > retaining it all in memory?
