hi,
i have read the thread http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=102056702426129
again.
i'd like to start it,
i think writing a single packages.xml is better than maintaing 84 package.html files.
IMO, a centralized XML file may not be better as far as keeping it up to date is concerned :
- people may often forget to update a central file far away from the source files.
- will people really go inside a large XML file containing 89 toplevel elements to update a single package description ? I think no.
* add a packages.dtd ala faq.dtd
I don't like neither constraining the content : package.html, as its name states, accepts any html markup. Javadoc extracts the first sentence to build the package summary table, but the file can contain a detailed design description of the package, including tables, images, etc. Sure, we don't have such detailed package.html now, but constraining the content will definitely prevent it...
My .02 euro...
