Granted: I use XSLT and am able to live with it. Nothing to be ashamed of, I guess. I've briefly looked into DVSL when Maven was gathering momentum, and it was not the kind of quantum-leap technology that would change my judgement on XSLT. My point is that projects are being attacked here *solely* because they prefer XSLT instead of DVSL. I'm perfectly happy when people don't like XSLT and scratch their own itches, but I do find it quite counterproductive when projects are considered to be less 'cool' when they prefer to use standards above home-brown solutions. I'm afraid I really don't want to know your opinion on Xalan and Cocoon, then :-) You know what? Java isn't open source, neither, and lots of academic work goes into that commercial language, too :-) Oh well, perhaps this might become more productive if you start to explain me what I need to do to create a Forrest plugin for Maven. </Steven> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
