Still waiting! The guy should be very busy :o)

Ah xtags! Yeah! Now that I finished implementing the new config system I
can put a lot of time on it. I've seen Konstantin's stuff, any chance I
can see what you've done Aslak? We'll first unify the two efforts (we
need a new branch), refactor them probably and move on to complete it.
Please send me the xml/dtd/reader/xbean parts of what you've done.
Remember we should provide backward-compatibility too, so new system
should not dictate the existence of the tag definitions in xml. That's
what I see missing in what Konstantain did, and is very important.

An ejbdoclet/webdoclet/etc tutor. Plus each subtask should have an
example section, showing how you use it and what it generates.

What do you think about a set of project templates? I mean not a .j
template but simply an empty project (say
ejb-project/web-project/j2ee-project/etc), with a predefined directory
structure like the one in samples and ready and commented build.xml file
(<!--uncomment it if you want to have local intf-->) and some readme
files in each directory (put your java beans here/etc). I think it'll be
beneficial, because many ppl waste their time struggling with wrong
classpathrefs and paths. What do you think?
