In discussions with Dion, he noted that Maven's primary benefit was process and build related, and that we could seamlessly use Forrest with Maven, getting what appeared to be the best of both worlds.What I was going to point out was that you have a maven POM and the reports generated from the POM alone are very useful. You'll be duplicating HTML docs for: - mailing lists - project team - dependencies - sources repository and instructions for retrieval - issue tracking - changelogs - developer activity - file activity - tasklists (taken from @todo in javadocs)
- Maven is a build tool that also has site-generation capabilities that uses JSL as a primary generation tool.
- Forrest is a site generation system.
- Centipede is a build tool that also has site-generation capabilities that uses Forrest as a primary generation tool.
There is no technological reason why Forrest cannot include Maven-generated docs in the site.
As for centipede, yes, we have what you call POM, and yes, it's the standard Gump descriptor, and yes, Centipede projects do work natively under Gump with the same descriptor, and yes, we also have all the above reports Maven gives using the Gump descriptor.
At one point, I even had the Maven site feature generate the site from Centipede docs http://www.krysalis.org/alt/.
On reports and builds, it's Maven VS Centipede, not Maven VS Forrest.
On his side, Forrest has instant page editing with the integrated webserver, multiple actively maintained skins, a linkmap for semantic linking, can use plain html documents as source (both cleaned and embedded as-is), an use wiki format sources for pages, a status file with all todos and changes with RSS feed, transparent usage of svg files rendered as png, DTD validation for sourcefiles... these are the few things that come to mind now.
