Craig, Thanks for the clarification. I figured out the part you mentioned below, and was able to successfully use what is in struts source to generate documentation for our own tag libraries similarly.
However, I think the javadoc information in my tag libraries and the xml source might end up being the same. I'm now trying to figure out if it is possible generate the xml source from the javadocs.
