I'm new to this process so let me know if there is anything I should do next. I wrote the plugin paying attention to the codehaus rules, but I could have missed some things. This plugin simply calls exec() to perl that runs Natural Docs. Of course there is some logic written into it that ensures a correct configuration and allows it to be cross-platform as it can be.

My team is using Maven to build a JavaScript library. We've been using javascript-maven-tools (http://mojo.codehaus.org/javascript-maven-tools/) and we love it. [+1 to it and we hope it won't die!] One of the libraries we're extending uses Natural Docs for producing their reports. I'm figuring there may be more people in a similar situation to us and that's why I'm here.

Cheers!

Tim

Ah yes, I missed that part. I assumed Natural Docs would be part of the plugin itself, like most of our mojo's do.
But I know there are more plugins that work like this.
It's just a matter of enough interest for such a plugin.
