My site is another sample of using customized site.jsl.

I like the stuff your doing with Tornado - have been thinking how to do 
something similar under Avalon with respect to a server side service 
brokerage facility leveraging Turbine.

Thanks a million.  That's exactly what I was looking for.

You can take control of a lot of things by declaring a custom site.jsl.

E.g:

 maven.xdoc.jsl = myAlternativeSite.jsl

The Avalon site used a custom JSL - not much is custom but its custom
all the same.

I was wondering if anybody has attempted to make any significant
   

cosmetic
 

modifications to the website that is generated by "site:generate"?  I'd
   

like
 

to do things like change the fonts and how the collapsible menus look.
   

I'm
 

even thinking about adding rich content like flash interfaces and
   

applets.
 

And I want to be able to move things around as far as the layout goes.

I'm familiar with the list of xdoc properties but it's apparent that
   

those
 

properties are more geared toward simplification rather than
   

customization.
 

I can modify the plugin itself but as soon as I download a SNAPSHOT.jar
   

all
 

my customizations go away.

So what I'm thinking of is sort of like what "genapp" does.  First, it
   

looks
 

in ~/.maven/template for a customized template, and if not found, then
defaults to the one in the jar.  Is there a directory that
   

"site:generate"
 

looks in for CSS and XSL before going with the defaults?
