That's fine, they can use tools like StaticMesh or SiteMesh alter anything they like, or integrate whatever portions of the maven generated sites they like. > I understand that you intention is to have quite simillar (standard) sites > which are easy to browse.

They can, it's just not something I want baked in. I also say this because the new xdoc plugin is blindingly fast because I'm directly writing out the xhtml from xml by passing the use of any other tools which is why it is so fast and so small. This is I will not sacrifice for users every whim for customization. This level of customization is entirely, and easily possibly with the StaticMesh/SiteMesh tools. > BTW: in maven1 there are strange relations between site and xdoc plugins.

Yes, but ultimately the must conform to the xdoc style of document or they basically get no benefit from any of the plugins that produce the xdoc style. At any rate, these cases will be few and far between and for those cases tools exist to munge the generated xdoc or style xhtml in anyway shape or form. -- jvz.
