Konstantin Boudnik commented on HADOOP-7069:
--------------------------------------------
There's no question we need to get rid of Forrest. However. considering Carl's
post:
- in the short term we can get rid of annoying JDK5 dependency (makes me
happy)
- in a longer term to switch to Maven site generation without going having to
convert to textile format and facing an unknown effort of support it under
maven'ized build.
> Replace forrest with supported framework

> It's time to burn down the forrest. Apache forrest, which is used to
> generate the documentation for all three subprojects, has not had a release
> in several years (0.8, the version we use was released April 18, 2007), and
> requires JDK5, which was EOL'ed in November 2009. Since it doesn't seem
> likely Forrest will be developed any more, and JDK5 is not shipped with
> recent OSX versions, or included by default in most linux distros, we should
> look to find a new documentation system and convert the current docs to it.
