Concept is coming from the famous Xdoclet http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/ Extract javadoc info to generate XML descriptor file. This is really usefull when dealing with EJB/CMP. The goal is to get the info near the code (and avoid have 2 files to edit, one for code and one for xml) and reduce writing error. BTW, avalon-meta provide a maven plugin (when you build it from cvs if I remember) that could be use with declaration in "maven.xml" file such as: <preGoal name="java:compile"> <attainGoal name="avalon:meta"/> </preGoal> When maven is launch it automaticly generate all required XML file from your source files in target folder (and enventually you can ask for a cup of thea with milk with a backdoor option ;) ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
