Unless I'm mistaken, he means that the javadoc-like docs are generated from the actual TLDs.

So, instead of this:

            ,-> struts-*.html
struts-*.xml-
            '-> struts-*.tld


...he means this:

struts-*.tld -> struts-*.html (javadoc-like format)

These javadoc-like docs would be directly linked as part of the documentation.

Is this right Joe?


It's true; the javadoc-like docs are generated from TLDs using TagLibraryDoc: https://taglibrarydoc.dev.java.net/

So only one file (per tag library) would be maintained: it's just that rather than it being a source for TLDs, which could also be used to produce documentation, it would *be* the TLD. So rather than having one Struts-custom XML file used to generate two documents, we'd have one standard TLD file used to generate (through a potentially more "standard" library) tag documentation.

Besides some formatting, the language should be identical to what we currently have on the userGuide pages.

I wouldn't say I'm "lobbying" for this, but I do like the idea of one less transformation. I mostly just wanted to see how it worked; I'd been using Sun's online JSTL 1.1 doc (generated with the same tool) for a while but hadn't generated my own.
