I completely agree with the things when poi-build used Centipede. For me (translator), it was a pain, too. PAIN PAIN PAIN!! I had to learn how to deal with Anakia (Velocity and Ant, XSLT), Maven and Centipede. Unbelievable! ... Jakarta is missing *consistency*
But, imagine. All the avalon, xml. ws-projects are using forrest and forrest bot. ... If we fail building the site and it is due to the bugs of forrest, all the xml, ws, incubator-sites also fail buiding the sites!! We do not have to investigate the root of the *evil* ! :D Simple.... I love these kind of simpleness and smartness.
