From: "Wendy Smoak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
One remaining concern about the website conversion: If I copy the files into build/xdocs, what happens when someone checks out struts/current and gets the 'build' directory within every subproject? I have a feeling it's going to retrieve all that documentation a dozen times, once for each subproject, but maybe Subversion clients are smarter than that. Otherwise, can subversion be configured to exclude the 'xdocs' directory?

(I'm really not talking to myself-- James IM'd right after I posted the message above to confirm that this is a legitimate issue.)

When I asked a question recently on maven-user, they suggested having a separate sub-project for the website. That didn't initially work for me because if you run 'maven multiproject:site' from /struts/current/build, it sees the 'website' directory as just another sub-project and puts the documentation under struts.apache.org/website-- breaking every link into the Struts site.

However, having a separate sub-project for the website and building the site _from there_ works. I now have struts/current/site containing the 'xdocs' directory with all of the xml (and other) files from the existing site, and executing 'maven multiproject:site' from struts/current/site does the right thing.

Having a separate sub-project for the site also helps with the goal of clearly separating the website from the project documentation.

Are there any objections to having 'site' or 'website' as a new sub-project?

Thanks,
Wendy
