I recently got this to work, with the following changes: (1) I prefaced the filename in the ENTITY with "file:" (i.e. "file:../MavenMasterWeb/xdocs/projectlist.xml"). (2) My experience is that the reference is resolved based on where you invoke maven, not where the enclosing doc is located. This means that if both xml files are in xdocs, but you'll be invoking maven from one dir up, you'll need "xdocs/" as part of the filename. In a multiproject environment this gets even trickier, which is why I have the multiple directories as listed above.
