So let me understand this right.
I can either write out an xml file or I can write out a Java/text file out
with the writer in the custom plugin.
I cannot however invoke another ant task. So my only option is to
a. Create the files that I need in a particular folder and then after the
xdoclet task, call another ant task to work on this newly created files ?
b. Call the os executable withe Runtime process to do what I want on the
file.
Sounds like a feature request to me.
How come if you look at Interface extractor plugin, I see a TagLibrary
written for it. If I dont have custom tags but generic java file creation,
then I dont need the TagLibrary.java is my understading. Please validate.
Also all the plugins mandate maven to be used. I am not a MAVEN user so can
I not live with ant for compiling my plugins.

I'm affraid you can not. Template engines do not
call any ant tasks in xdoclet-2. Neither they are
called by ant tasks direclty.

You should not. Taglib plugin will generate it for
you
( see invocation in respective pom.xml )

Automated tag usage validation.
