Many projects already do this. If the Maven "site" reporting is configured properly in the Maven build file, this can generate very good and extensive web pages for a project. The Maven site itself is a good example ( http://maven.apache.org/). The advantage of this approach is that we would not need to maintain documentation and source code separately, and it is easy to include automatically generated documentation parts like the Javadoc, REST API, License Report, or Developer Information in the web page. So I would try going this approach. :-) Greetings, Sebastian > [1] http://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html > > -- > Fabian > http://twitter.com/fctwitt >
