Hi, Thanks Jason, I'll look into that. I also wanted to commend Maven for stepping into a hole no product including Ant has (to my knowledge) filled - defining the processes (via plugins and goals) used through project developments. Defining a goal for every standard process (war:war for creating war files, etc) is a step in the correct path. However it seems that even though a lot of work has been put into defining these goals, they are not documented enough.
I believe a document is in place to specify and diffrenciate between inner, implementation-related goals (such as site:generate) and the more public, process-oriented goals that are aimed at the developers of the project (I know there is a document specifying a complete list of WHICH goals are defined, but it does not define the correct goal, or a goal-combination, for each task during development - should I use jar:jar, dist, etc'). For trivial tasks it is sometimes obvious, but not always. None-the-less: well done Maven team! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason van Zyl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Maven Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2003 10:44 PM Subject: Re: Using POM properties in xdocs > On Sun, 2003-10-05 at 18:00, Arik Kfir wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Is it possible to use POM properties in xdoc files?
