The xdocs are built using velocity templates derived from the logging.apache.org/site templates. Therefore they are actually built in Java using Velocity and Ant. The build file is not compatible with NAnt. The build.xml file could do with a large comment to warn users of this anomaly.
It would be possible to change over to using NAnt and NVelocity but the templates would need to be rewritten to use .NET APIs rather than Java ones. I am already rather dissatisfied with the Velocity templates and rather than converting them into .NET versions I would much rather change over to using XSLT templates.
