I've used both on a couple of small (personal) projects. I used Forrest for my kids soccer team's web site. I mean, come on, how can you make things any simpler than executing "forrest seed"?
And I used Maven for a recent client. I don't really care which one we use, but I think getting build, documentation, and reports out of one tool instead of using two or three is definitely enough to persuade my vote. I'm +1 on Maven, but I agree that the L&F should be customized. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer / Struts Evangelist http://www.struts-atlanta.org 678.910.8017 AIM:jmitchtx > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Leland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 2:16 PM > To: Struts Developers List > Subject: Re: Struts web site [was: Re: Conversion of web site > docs to XHTML] > > > Robert Leland wrote: > > > Steve Raeburn wrote: > > > >> I have committed the first step in transitioning the web site > >> documentation > >> to valid XHTML. > >> > >> > > As far as I know we were planning to move over to Maven or forrest. > > I have been working on Mavenizing items as I can. > > Instead of doing the stylesheets maybe your efforts > > could be directed towards integrating those xml docs into > > maven ? > > > > Do we want to hold a formal vote/lazy consensus on what doc > > system we are moving to ? > > I would go with Maven only because it provides a number of > usefull reports. > I don't care for the standard Maven look, but believe it's > better than > what we have. > > My main concern is to make sure whatever we pick > Maven/Forrest that it's around and thriving a year from now. > maven is very active but they also seem to be going through > a large refactoring to reduce the memory footprint.
