Hi,

since June 9th, maven-xdoc-plugin 1.9.1 is the most current release of
the xdoc plugin. Ever since then, maven sites with things like
"???template.mail_lists.section.title???" pop up. Even on the maven
plugin site itself (see e.g. at the simian plugin at
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/simian/mail-lists.html).

The problem has been identified and is fixed on the trunk since June
21st. This is a showstopper bug for everyone wanting to built sites on
non-Windows platforms and it would have (IMHO) warranted an immediate
release of 1.9.2 over 1.9.1 with just this bug fixed.

However, nothing has happened since for more than two months. The only
advice (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPXDOC-148#action_41816) was
"use the current trunk snapshot". Now guess what:

Great advice. Not.

This is a plea for an immediate release of maven-xdoc-plugin
1.9.2. I'd ask the developers (mainly Arnaud since he is listed as
project lead) to start a voting cycle to release this plugin. The
current state is more than hurting for building maven sites.

        Regards
                Henning
