We have mvn site:run for that purpose. It starts up a Jetty instance
and adds a servlet filter that will render them on the fly.


Sounds nice, thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try.

Pretty
sure forrest has something similar.

It would be reasonably straightforward to wrap the Maven independent
Doxia code in an ant task - it's just waiting for a contributor
(*hint* *hint*). I've been told my ant task writing sucks.


If we choose to use this kind of documentation I'm pretty suree you'll see
such a volunteer poping up :)

We would need to refactor some of the site.xml inheritence to support
non-Maven project structures, and also refactor the site:run code as
it depends on the maven project as well. Certainly achievable.

You know where to find us if you are interested :)
