Hi, My take on it is same as before: it's a nice tool, has some cool features. But it's only worth pursuing if the benefits outweigh the costs, namely the maintenance effort to keep an up to date pom.xml (or project.xml, which may be the more standard name IIRC, but it doesn't matter much).
I don't think it can replace Ant is the primary build mechanism for log4j, because so many more people use Ant when compared to Maven. I also think, as you pointed out, that logging-site should be tagged with every release: be it a CVS or SVN tag, that's a separate to-do item not related to the Ant or Maven discussion. But for documentation, sure, maybe it's nice: FWIW, I like Forrest at least as much as Maven. One good thing to ask ourselves is: is this really the itch to scratch? Have users been complaining about the current documentation? Or is our time better spent on getting log4j 1.3 backwards-compatible and out-the-door already?
