Actually, you may be closer to a complete maven build than you think. (And I was able to build the docs with 'ant doc'. I was just trying to avoid having to set up the ant classpath.)
And the reason I posted here was to try to avoid having to read through the documentation for the maven javadoc plugin. Personally, I find Maven a complete pain (and you can see how much I know about it from my @VERSION@ question), but then there's something to be said for the simplicity of 'mvn clean install'. Right now I am wading through the Pivot docs trying to get a handle on them. When the smoke clears I will have a look at the maven build. You know what they say about projects: "If they can build it they will come."
