At the minute, I've just copied the docs over to see how it would work out. My opinion is "not bad, but more work required". As far as I'm concerned, the Maven build is still experimental and not ready for primetime.
It might be an option to build the website from Maven in the (very) near future, but I think we'll need to do some restructuring before the library build will work with Maven. (Separate out the taglibs, web apps, contribs into separate sub-projects). I don't think we should let the Mavenization process hold up the 1.2.0 release. There's a lot of changes waiting to get out and I think it best not to combine those with a change in the build process. Hopefully, we can integrate it into the build as we move forward through 1.2.x. For maintenance purposes, the live documentation is still in docs. Don't bother trying to maintain xdocs yet. I hope we'll be able to translate the docs in place & maintain the history. I'm not sure the end is in sight yet, but I'm now more confident now that the end is achievable with Maven :-) Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: November 29, 2003 12:31 PM > To: Struts Developers List > Subject: Re: Maven test run > > > David Graham wrote: > > You're going to delete the old versions in /doc right?
