In thinking about what a runtime container would provide, I can't think of anything required on a site with no user-login / form / etc that would require any sort of container. I, personally, think maven-site does an adequate job for sites that "only a developer could love". To illustrate both my point that a runtime container isn't necessary for the information necessary, and a site that's more "user-geared" I suggest a look at Geronimo's new look (http://geronimo.apache.org). I'm not saying it's perfect - it's closer to Maven's current site than a Mozilla site - but it's definitely more "user" oriented/friendly - and to the best of my knowledge runs outside of a container. The difference? That site was designed. Maven generates sites that are coded. (And I'm not talking about "pretty" - more the "concise look" and "user-level links".) And that's more of a 'content designed' than a 'look and feel' design. Then there's the content debate... "Getting Started" with Maven goes on _forever_. To get started?!? And that's entirely outside the scope of the documentation link (which doesn't quite go on forever - just links forever). And the first link on documentation? Getting Started. [and NO, I'm not saying there's too much documentation now ;-)] My thoughts. Other's (and sometimes mine) may vary. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFED84VaCoPKRow/gARAiWWAJ9dUNVLKI8b32vDJVCj+axp/KTlrwCfdbxP yipbhAFs4+YTKZWo9ZX2BX4= =yYGS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
