Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XDT-504
    Summary: Option to disable checking template files when determining if generation 
is needed
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Assigned
   Priority: Major

 Time Spent: Unknown
   Estimate: 0 minutes

    Project: XDoclet
 Components: 
             Core

   Assignee: xdoclet-devel (Use for new issues)
   Reporter: Basil Vandegriend

Description:
Currently, as part of the process to determine if generation is necessary for a given 
file w.r.t a given template, xDoclet checks to see if the template is newer than the 
generated file.

Since one template can include (merge) other templates, there is some complex code to 
check all the merged templates to make sure that none of them are newer than the 
generated file.  

This check causes several problems:
1. The code has defects which arise in particular circumstances.  XDT-502 and XDT-349 
are two defects that I'm aware of in particular.
2. I believe that this check is a significant performance hit.

Therefore, my suggestion is that there be an option (perhaps in DocletTask) to disable 
checking if the template(s) are newer than the generated file.  This check is really 
only useful anyways if one is developing templates, or upgrades xDoclet.  Otherwise, 
for everyday use by regular (non-xdoclet) developers, it is not necessary to do this 
check.
