Could you clarify a bit your intentions, I don't know if I missed that
in the discussion so far.
If we accept the code, is it going to stay a separate project or will it
be merged with jxr? Are they going to compete or supplement each other?
What is the concrete advantage for the Maven project to import this
code, as opposed to, say, let the forrest people vote you in as
committer and/or try to get a release from there.
As I understand, you are (still) the only one actually working on the
code, so you should decide what is most convenient for you, and if you
volunteer to maintain it I see no problem to take it over, just to get
an idea on what is going to happen.

Hi,
FYI, the Forrest Team started a discussion about the future of Forrestdoc:
http://www.nabble.com/-Proposal--decide-the-future-of-forrestdoc-tf4060050.html
A key concern is to know if the Maven community would like to accept
the code. WDYT?

Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies.
I created a new JXR issue for this thread.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JXR-54
You could see that I created a Maven Forrestdoc Plugin to handle the
Forrestdoc tool.
Actually, Forrestdoc has several limitations like the hardcoded bottom
and the fact that it is not possible to aggregate several Maven
projects.
Your feedback are of course welcome.
Cheers,
Vincent
