Thanks Robert.

The reason I ask is because doing a Google on XDOC also comes up with the 
following site:

http://www.openmechanics.org/projects/xdoc/

Which I assume is not the same XDOC?

So from what I can tell, JDOM is a simple API for manipulating XML, 
Velocity is a template engine, Anakia is a project (and from what I can 
tell, pretty much an Ant task) that puts JDOM and Velocity together (and 
which itself only exists as a sub-project of Velocity), and XDOC is an 
extension to Anakia specifically for Maven - is that correct?  If it is, 
why did the Maven folk prefer to invent a new technology rather than 
extend the existing Anakia project?

Thanks for your time,
James

(i'm not sure exactly what you're asking but i'll do my best)

the format used for the xml files in the xdoc section is based on 
anakia (which is widely used in the ASF). see 
http://maven.apache.org/start/anakia.html for more details.
