Thanks again, Ara!
The {0} worked great, of course, after building XDoclet from CVS.
Is there a timeframe set for the next official release? I'm curious, as I'm
writing about XDoclet and while running off of CVS is fine for me for now,
I'd rather a release version support the examples I'll be showing.
Also, the link to the XDoclet site is wrong on the live resources page
(http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/resources.html). It says "xdoclet", but
goes to the Sourceforge "ejbdoclet" site. This has caught me off-guard a
few times.
XDoclet rocks! I'd like to see its documentation improved substantially
though, and may jump in to assist with that at some point in the future.
Its not been easy to track down exactly how to get rolling with custom
templates. All the "pieces" are there but more examples and explanations of
things like {0} and forAllClasses needs to be easy to find.
Thanks for a great product. Keep up the good work! :)
Erik
