Ultimately the page describing the model will be generated from this: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven-components/maven-model/maven.mdo?rev=1.22&view=auto I am already generating the model sources, the XSD, the xpp3 unmarshaller and marshaller and the xdoc: http://maven.apache.org/maven.html Certainly not finished by any stretch of the imagination, but the maven.mdo will be augmented to provide any information that is useful. Optional fields will definitely be added as they are required for the correct generation of the XSD: http://maven.apache.org/~jvanzyl/maven.xsd As you can see there's nothing there to allow optional fields yet, but it's coming. Ultimately, I want any artifact that is useful and stems from the model to be generated so that it remains up-to-date with changes in the model. This has been the biggest problem with Maven which I hope remedy soon. So even that sample full document at the top of Dion's can be generated and I will incorporate that if desired. This week and next week are plugin weeks the following week will be work on the new xdoc plugin: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven-components/maven-xdoc/ Which will produce nice sites like: http://groovy.codehaus.org/ And do it pretty much instaneously. I can currently generate the xhtml for the Maven site in under a second. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
