It looks like this feature is pretty new to the xdoc plugin cvs and not currently in this release candidate. I suspect it will be in the next, otherwise I can recommend that we upgrade all our xdoc plugin tot eh latest release.
It seems to me that this is, at least in part, why Maven has not even reached a 1.0 release, after it's been around, and been used,
for so long.
If they're adding new features in a release candidate, I don't have much confidence that there ever will be a 1.0 final release. ;-(

Hmm, but Maven itself hasn't changed, its the natural evolution of the plugins alone. the xdoc and site plugins are naturally going to advance in feature as more users provide input.
You can "upgrade" the plugins very easily in Maven, if anything this flexibility makes Maven even stronger. I disagree with the comment about a 1.0 release, the features in a specific plugin arn't going to define or limit the release of Maven itself.
That's all very nice, but it doesn't matter to me as a regular Maven user any more than whether it's a standard plugin or the core itself that's broken when I have a problem with Eclipse. From my perspective, if I download Maven and something isn't working, Maven is broken, regardless of whether it's a plugin or the core. (For example, as far as I'm concerned, Maven RC1 is broken because it generates incorrect Ant build files, where prior versions worked. It doesn't matter to me if that's because of a plugin bug, it's still broken.)

Sigh...
Every situation can be viewed from anywhere within a continuum of negative to positive perspectives. How often we are quick to levy blame when what is really needed is a helping hand.
I'd rather see my discussions stay on topic. This one no longer is...
