There is some development, and I pushed release 2.0.7 last week.

It depends on what features you are using.   
HIbernate / Web / Struts 2 ( XWork actually ) plugins are in pretty 
good shape.

Basically yes,  but tags are better now. They are formally defined ans 
self-checking.  But XD1 stopped development years ago,  so tags 
used by XD2 plugins have evolved.

Complete repository (several of them)  ;)

We use qdox now ( http://qdox.codehaus.org )

Everything in maven repositories on codehaus.

Well,  there is now xdoclet, and xdoclet plugins in separate projects. 
Build / Distribution is done with maven 2, there is also m2 plugin so you
do not have to download anything if you use it. 

Complete binary distribution was uploaded to  xdoclet-plugins project on 
sourceforge:
http://www.sf.net/xdoclet-plugins/

( this is 1.0.4 package of plugins,  and 1.0.5 is in the works
and will be uploaded this week )
