Using such tools might encourage tests to be contributed and general code improvement to happen. We do have six modules in main/java/org/apache/forrest/ and some of those are extremely important to us. We have eight plugins that have some Java code. > Finally, we don't really have a > great deal of code that depends on other code. Hmmm ...

Yes, and we could do more with those, e.g. build our "site-author" docs; add more examples to the "seed" site; etc. -David > Personally I'm -0 on this idea.
