    I know this comes up periodically but I'm trying to take a pulse to
    see if anyone is working on something similar to the maven site
    plug-in. I'm more interested in the full site generation, including
    online docs, etc. than the reports (though those will be cool, too).

    Is anyone in the community working on this?  Any luck using external
    tools for this?

    I've looked at how the gradle site is generated and I can go that
route...

As you haven seen, this is an ad-hoc solution just for the requirements of the Gradle project.

It's not bad, though. I've tweaked it somewhat to my needs but for the most part it almost works "out of the box".


    but I'm looking to be able to use multiple content formats like
    Doxia does and have it all assembled into a site from a logical
    model. I didn't want to reinvent the wheel if someone has already
    made some progress.


I'm not aware of any efforts here. It would be excellent to have such an abstraction.

What I really miss is the ability to compose write-up in something other than HTML (textile, atf, etc.). The docs for Doxia are a little obtuse but it has all of the components... they may just be too hard to get at outside of a full-up maven environment in the plexus container.

The other problem I haven't figured out an elegant approach for is marrying the site report stuff with the "model" used to generate the site.

If I make any break-throughs relating to some sort of site plug-in, I'll post back. I'm a CSS newb (and a Groovy newb, too) so it will probably need a lot of clean-up. At least I can generate my new site now, though.
