The best example of what I believe we want to do is the Jakarta Commons, which is Maven based.
It might not be hard to add a Ant build file to Core to just build the web site, based on what is now over in Apps, or the build file from 1.2.
It wouldn't have to build JARs, just run the XMLs through the Ant.
Once we had the site building again, perhaps someone could add a section to the Roadmap on where we stand with this. There's been traffic on the list, but it's hard to keep up with the threads sometimes.
My own preference would be to use Maven, but, in the end, them that does the work make the decisions.

In the midst of the reorganization, the targets that would build the website content were separated from the content. The usual approach was to build the documentation application and then upload that, so those Ant targets marched over to the Apps subproject. Meanwhile, the content is still under Core (in docs). I usually just built the website locally (there was a target for that) and would then scp the pages up to the server, without messing about with the WAR.
Yes, this is what I have done in the past. So what you are saying is that currently, the website build is broken. What I'm wanting to do is update the website so I can announce Struts Flow. Struts Flow will add three new pages so that might be too big to just hack the HTML itself.
The end-game is to create a separate "site" subproject for the top-level project that would introduce the project as a whole and link into each subproject. Each subproject would have its own set of documentation, in its own folder, perhaps done through Maven. Other "mega-projects", like Logging, seem to be doing that now. Building the Struts site would then be something like building the Jakarta Commons site.
Well, that gets us back into the Maven vs. Ant debate. I'd imagine we don't want to have part of the build require Ant, and the other require Maven. Are there any examples of this being done that use Ant?

Ok, I give up - how do you build the Struts website? Last I remember, I used ant which pulled the content from /docs but I can't seem to find any site building task in build.xml. Are we now only using maven and /xdocs?
