-Dblabla is the way to go. If you often build it then you create a local
bat file and run it. A casual user just reads the readme file and runs
ant with the appropriate variable. And if you really want to take care
of lazy users ask the user with Ant's <input/> task if a <condition/>
checking the property returns false, so if you don't -D it then the
build asks you. Pretty easy imho. Imho a single ${idea.home} property is
enough. And regarding the ejb/etc jars imho just point to the ones at
xdoclet/samples/lib. After all you gotta checkout xdoclet-all, right?
