Hi,

I'm back from vacation :-) Btw, you were to write a *long response* to
my chunk/etc email. I'm ready to continue discussing xdoclet2
architecture.

Looks good, but remember we don't have permission to upload anything to
ibiblio. We should upload the jars to our remote repo.

I'm working with dIon to sort out some issues regarding the maven plugin
and the jars, so any idea/thought/trick is welcome. Btw Aslak do you
know how Maven manages different versions of a maven plugin? I means can
we have a 1.2b1/1.2b2/etc in maven's remote repo? How does it handle
dependency to different versions of jars (say different versions of
xdoclet-ejb-module.jar) from different versions of the same plugin? The
project.xml of the plugin has <dependency/> elements to specific
versions of jars. Will redefining the <dependency/> to point to another
version of a jar in project.xml of your project (not xdoclet maven
plugin) make Maven use that version of the jar?

Btw, xdoclet activity% is very low atm, what's the reason? What do you
think about our next beta release? Is xdocletgui going to be included?
blabla?

Ara.
