Hi,

at the moment, all properties in default.properties are described in this file. 
  http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/ref/properties.html

there are a large number of properties in this doc which are copied from a 3rd 
party tool (check-style) - copied from here.
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/cmdline.html

I'm going through the process of adding new docs for the jrefactory properties 
which will add a further 80 properties, the documentation for which will be an 
exact copy of the docs from here:
http://jrefactory.sourceforge.net/csprettysettings.html

Where we are using 3rd party tools does it make more sense to link to the docs 
of that tool? which are likely to be more complete / descriptive / accurate etc 
than our own versions.  Also a maintenance overhead to copy docs from somewhere 
else.  Also I'm very lazy and would like to be able to say: 
maven.jrefactory.foo.bar docs are the same as foo.bar found at http://some.web.site

To reduce the maintenance is there a simple way to automate the process of 
pinching someone elses docs and converting them to maven docs?

Not sure if I'm allowed to propose a vote on this, but would be good to hear 
arguments for / against.

Cheers
Nathan
