My problems are nothing that couldn't be solved by creating new
templates and tag handlers. I don't belive they are a result of some
kind of fundamental constraint to Xdoclet's architecture, they're just
an issue of feature-completeness. Something I will have to address
before my project is finished. You'll hear more on this as I find time
to write the code. 

I am also eagerly awaiting more documentation and a new version of
Xdoclet.

Like I said, Xdoclet (at the moment) isn't capable of expressing 100% of
the configuration permutations expressable if EJB development were done
manually. But it's not anything that couldn't be solved by a little
elbow grease.
