Hi Roy
maybe I can help undestanding if there are real issues with Maven,
before thinking about swithing to Anakia... some of the things
mentioned here sound pretty new to me

This should not happen, where are you seeing this behavior?

what would you actually like to configure for the dev list that you
couldn't do? It just lists devs and contributors from the project pom,
so apart from this list there is no additional customization needed.
Keep in mind that for each report that you don't like you can simply
exclude it or just replace it with a totally custom xdoc.

well, as just said you can already do that using maven, if needed.

I also don't think that all the maven reports are useless... I find
pretty useful to find test reports, xrefs, change logs published, and
there are plenty of other reports/plugins that jackrabbit doesn't use
at the moment that could be added in future and bring more value to
the documentation or help developers (e.g. coverage report, checkstyle
...).
