I've found 2 ways to make this work:
First of all, thanks for having tried to override the templateFile.
Regarding your concern about the maintainability of this XDoclet custom task, I agree: as a matter of fact, the brand new XDoclet architecture seems to be more promising. At least, it allows to remove the .xdt language.
I had a quick though about the implicit definition of an XML template via an XML Schema: as a matter of fact, the task does not seem to be so easy. Indeed, if one can write a program, which generates a XML file based on an AST and a XML Schema, then this program is no more no less a kind of JAXB implementation.
I think that it could be more easy to generate a POJO, which is then bound to a XML document described by a XML Schema as one could re-use existing XML binding solutions.
Based on the XDoclet2 documentation, it seems that this kind of task could be handled by Xdg (I need to investigate).
I will monitor the release of XDoclet2 and try to "fix" the maintainability issue.
Cheers, Gianny
