Not really, however for our usecase maven should be enough. In the end we only want our documentation as html. Forrest is a publishing framework that works like following: - input plugin (different formats and markups (html, xml, xdoc,...) TO forrest internal format) - internal plugin (extend core forrest functionality) - output to different format (from the internal format we create different outputs like pdf, html, txt, ...) We are using xdocs for the documentation that we have ATM http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/droids/trunk/src/documentation/content/xdocs/ I am not the maven doc expert but would maven accept xdocs as input format or does it need it in a special format? salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler <thorsten.at.apache.org> codeBusters S.L. - web based systems <consulting, training and solutions> http://www.codebusters.es/
