I've built Struts 1.2.0 from the sources package uising maven 1.0RC1 without trouble.
When I run "maven site", the generated m-target/docs has no "index.html" and "faqs", "proposals", "tiles" and "userGuide" are empty directory. Is this a known build problem (waiting for update for an *official* release) ?
The energy for applying Maven to Struts has been focused on the build. I think a few people have looked at making it build the docs, but no one has really focused on it. I've also been pleased to be able to extend the main project.xml for struts-chain and struts-el to quickly bring Maven support to those.
Maven is not the official build mechanism for Struts, and there's no guarantee that it will become such in the 1.x line. On the other hand, if folks make Maven do everything the current Ant build does, it might. Of course, the fact that Maven still hasn't seen a full 1.0 release does lend some support with keeping Ant the official way.
For the docs, the main thing would be to eliminate any need to maintain dual documentation while the Ant build is still the official build. I think all current efforts have cloned the docs dir, and I've never tried to get maven:site to work against anything but the xdocs directory. If anyone knows the trick, patches are always happily accepted!
