Pete,

I suggest we see what happens to the cruft, and if it goes dead in a few
weeks complain very loudly. While the cocoon doc building should have
been fixed months ago, there *is* work going on to get it to work
properly.

Combined with the fact that our current cocoon build system is a lot
easier to migrate to something else (ie Forrest) that will probably
actually work like it is supposed to (as it is an active, properly
maintained project with more than 1 person working on it, *with* a good
dtd), I am willing to put up with it a little longer.

If you would take a look at the recent build changes in

jakarta-avalon-apps/xcommander

(which I will do for the rest of applications save 'enterprise' which
deviates too much), you'll see it is sort-of possible to maintain a
clean setup of two doc building systems. Once I get the cocoon bit
working, I'll modify the main apps/build.xml to include anakia targets
and the changing of a single line in a property file will allow the
switch.

now...

Berin (et al),

Pete does have a valid point. Doc generation has been broken,
repeatedly, over a long period of time, and it is still not working
properly. If no-one will maintain cocoon doc generation, and Pete will
only maintain anakia doc generation, the choice is anakia.

Makes sense.

cheers,

- Leo
