Yes, I was just asking Colin where he thought I should put the explanation.  

It seems like there are a lot more of these that are necessary, and I guess
my initial question of "where to put it?" was based on this.  It seems like
it ought to be linked off of or form the basis of the (currently nonexistent)
docs for @ejb.target-relation, but it's a little long in the tooth to fit
there well.  Colin suggested the FAQ, but I'm kinda queasy about putting more
information into an outside source that requires a paid subscription in order
to search completely.

My suggestion then would be that this information should go into the "Using
XDoclet" document, possibly with an index for the information as it grows.
There needs to be an all-encompassing guide that accompanies the reference
material, and ideally they would be cross-linked.
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/index.html is one of the best manuals for a
complex product that I know of, but they really don't have the great
reference format that Mathias pulled together so elegantly.  

So my survey is what people think about the layout of the documentation.  I
personally think it's hard for developers with experience to use a product to
document it, but it's hard for users that need the documentation (and know
where it ought to go) to write it by the very nature that they don't know
what to write!  Take a look at http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/1.2beta/ and
make some suggestions, please!  What are your thoughts on this issue?  Help
us help you help yourselves! :-)
