Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XDT-798
    Summary: The plugin.jelly in the maven-xdoclet-plugin-1.2.jar is _huge_. I am 
offering an alternative.
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Open
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: XDoclet
 Components: 
             Maven Plugin
   Versions:
             1.2

Environment: *

Description:
The 1.2 distribution contains maven-xdoclet-plugin-1.2.jar, the Maven plugin for 
XDoclet. It is working allright (well, with footnotes ;), but its plugin.jelly file is 
simply HUGE (1MB). 
Being so, it slows significantly the startup of Maven when used and that's a problem, 
since it gets used normally on every build cycle.

The file seems to be generated automatically and probably as more modules were added 
to XDoclet it silently grew to this size without anyone noticing.
Since its structure is fairly regular, I gave a shot at reducing the size (and the 
startup time) using Jelly tags. The modified version (sourcecode of the entire plugin 
and an short explanation) is available at http://open.maxiq.com/xdoclet/index.html. I 
did not attach it here because I don't know if that would be interesting for anyone.

Well, if you _are_ interested, you should know that the run time of a test-run 
(xdoclet:hibernatedoclet) was reduced from 19 secs to 12 secs (on my machine) and 
there's still room to go down. The "looks" of the plugin.jelly are more readable (my 
opinion, of course :).

I only re-implemented the hibernate part, because I'm only interested in that, but the 
only change required to support all other goals is to be made in plugin.jelly. Since 
plugin.jelly is auto-generated, some XDoclet guru would have no trouble in adjusting 
the main generation process and including the new approach in the XDoclet 
distribution. I am willing to help with whatever is not explicit enough in the code I 
posted on my site.
