I'm sorry to hear about the sub-optimal ejb support currently in Xdoclet 2.0. I'm sure that will be improved but that rules out my being able to use it today. I recently downloaded the entire XDoclet project from the CVS tree. I could not get it to build though. It looks like the fileset paths were malformed when calling the old Xdoclet based on Javadoc in the generate-tests target. This is my 1st time using a lot of new stuff. For example, my 1st time using CVS, my 1st time using the CVS support for Idea, not my 1st time building an open source project from source but it sure feels like it. I also had a 1st look at Maven only because the XDcolet docs said something about deprecated use of Ant building the entire project. I think I am starting to get a little deep here, however, I'm working on some continuous integration ideas and I'm thinking of applying some of these ideas to my daily work. I use a lot of open source stuff here and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use daily CI (Continuous Integration) builds of some of them. For example, I'd start with beanshell maybe and then move on to Ant or something like that. I'm well off topic here. I thank you tremendously for your support on this issue as I try out this XJavadoc stuff. By the way, am I correct in my assumption about the Ant task stuff? Is integrating Xdoclet with my Ant build as simple as extending the XDocletTask and implementing start()? Would I call getXJavaDoc from there?

Konstantin,
I'm looking into XJavadoc and I find little
documentation. How do I use is to augment source? I saw a small use example on
the XDoclet site which retrieves the value of an attribute. I'm
looking for documentation on how I'd use the API to effectively insert Javadoc
tags. Would this be an easy task with XJavadoc? Where can I find good
documentation? I looked into the Javadocs for the API and saw some
Ant classes.It looks like I could extend the XJavadoc class and
implement the start method to use XJavadoc from Ant. It also looks like I could
couple that with the XJavadocFilter to grab only my EJBs from my
source code repository which is really good. I'm sorry to hear about the
deprecation of the template language. Its a little frustrating now that
I just picked it up and would like to use it. That's not going to happen
to XJavadoc anytime soon is it? It's hard to figure out just what
approach to use nowadays since there so many new technologies and such rapid
deprecation of existing technologies.
Best existing documentation is source of xdoclet GUI. It does what you need, but controlled manually.
One you have managerd to load source files, you can
iterate over known source classes and just manipulate
their tags.
After you are done, you can save everything ( look into action methods of xjavadoc )
XJavadoc is tied together with xdoclet 1.2, and 1.2
wil be the latest version of xdoclet to use it.
2.0 is already in the works, and I put it into (my own
) production today.
It uses qdox ( also source parser, but faster ), new
IoC technologies and velocity / jelly as templates - much easier to manage then xdoclet templating syntax.
There are also nice advantages like xdoclet tag sanity
checking and line-accurate error reporting.
You can use 1.2 though. It's pretty stable, but not actively developed. 2.0 would be not for you, because ejb support is suboptimal ( for now ) .
regards,
