Non english documentation generation using xdoc plugin

[Alexei Barantsev]

xdoc plugin generates illegal documentation for non-English language.

Problem is not in Maven but in Velocity, more exactly - in $node.copy()
method.
This method uses XMLWriter constructed with default parameters,
which is absolutely unsuitable for non-English languages because it
tries to
encode all non-7-bit characters into XML entities.

The following patch to site.dvsl avoids using $node.copy() and solves
the problem:

bash$ diff -u
maven-1.0-beta-6/plugins/maven-xdoc-plugin-1.1/site.dvsl.orig
maven-1.0-beta-6/plugins/maven-xdoc-plugin-1
