This is the best thing XDoclet could do, is push for vendors to adopt
their own modules/tags. Woohoo! This is what Ant wants to do as well,
but unfortunately it has not been that easy.... once this stuff is in
its hard to get it back out.
The only trick will be to keep the JBoss side of things in sync with
XDoclet releases, or at least note which version of XDoclet the JBoss
provided modules work with.... but this should not be too much headache
for the JBoss team or the users of XDoclet JBoss modules.
