To answer the question about filling in the default informational bits with more interesting stuff, I found this in the source code. I looked in POM.xmlin the root folder of the source. Evidently you put these tags in your parent POM to cause things to get filled in in the docs. I copied some from one POM and some from another but the examples should help.
(You can get more information on the tags here - http://maven.apache.org/maven-model/maven.html - search for "issueManagement" or "license" to find the part of that page that matters. This page confused me at first. The top part of the page shows all the XML tags that there can be and those tags have links down to the bottom part where there are explanations of what the tags do.) <mailingLists> <mailingList> <name>Development List</name> <subscribe>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</subscribe> <unsubscribe>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</unsubscribe> <post>dev@mojo.codehaus.org</post> <archive>http://archive.mojo.codehaus.org/dev/</archive> </mailingList> </mailingLists> <issueManagement> <system>jira</system> <url>http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO</url> </issueManagement> <scm> <connection>scm:svn:svn://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/scm/trunk/mojo</connection> <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo</developerConnection> <url>http://svn.mojo.codehaus.org/trunk/mojo</url> </scm> <ciManagement> <system>continuum</system> <notifiers> <notifier> <configuration> <address>commits@maven.apache.org</address> </configuration> </notifier> </notifiers> </ciManagement> <developers> <developer> <id>jvanzyl</id> <name>Jason van Zyl</name> <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email> <organization>ASF</organization> <roles> <role>PMC Chair</role> </roles> <timezone>-5</timezone> </developer> </developers> <licenses> <license> <name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name> <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url> <distribution>repo</distribution> </license> </licenses> <organization> <name>Apache Software Foundation</name> <url>http://www.apache.org/</url> </organization> On 12/27/05, Lee Meador <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm replying to my own email.
