Please correct me if this is not the right approach...
As I understand, the xdoclet plugin isn't exactly up-to-snuff, and the best approach 
is to use the ant/xdoclet tags within maven.xml under each goal, which is perfect for 
my existing projects being migrated from Ant to Maven anyhow.

Now, the problem I am having is the ever-so-common "taskdef class 
xdoclet.modules.ejb.EjbDocletTask cannot be found" error.  I have gone through all the 
maven mailing list, Google, and my own trial-and-errors and have not been able to get 
anywhere.

I have removed ALL instances of xdoclet tags from my properties files, so the only 
place using xDoclet is maven.xml (assuming this is the correct approach) and the 
dependencies in project.xml. I have gotten my project to work with xdoclet using the 
plugins and property files, but is not suitable and need more fine-grain control 
available through the <goal> process.

Maven.xml
---------
<project xmlns:j="jelly:core"
    xmlns:maven="jelly:maven"
    xmlns:log="jelly:log"
    >

  <preGoal name="java:compile">
      <attainGoal name="gen-ejbs"/>
  </preGoal>

<goal name="gen-ejbs">
   <property name="myclasspath" refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
   <echo>classpath: ${myclasspath}</echo>
   <taskdef name="ejbdoclet" classname="xdoclet.modules.ejb.EjbDocletTask" 
classpath="${myclasspath}"/>
   <ejbdoclet
       destdir="${output.java.gen-src.dir}"
       ejbspec="2.0"
       verbose="true">
....stuff....
--------

I have tried many variations on the classpath, classpathref, nested classpath, and 
have not had success. Dependency is listed in the project.xml file, the 
xdoclet-ejb-module-1.2b2.jar is there in the place specified in classpath and have 
verified the xdoclet.modules.ejb.EjbDocletTask class exists. Forgive me for sounding 
frustrated, but so close and just trying to get over this one hill....

maven 1.0 beta 8
xdoclet 1.2b2

thanks for any help in advance!
