while the Centipede folks have already been working on it.
I'm sure Maven provides some nice features, and I can see it with the automatic website and docs that it can generate. No argument there. But its still "beta" level software and I continually see reports that folks have to "redo" their setup when upgrading to new versions of it, just as Aslak reported too.
Is there any technical reason why an Ant build.xml cannot be provided to also build xdoclet2? Can't Maven generate a build.xml? If so, please count me as +1 for an Ant build too! :)

Heh, I wish I could stop maven bashing! Seriously though, if you guys feel it provides an incredible benefit, then it' cool. I like the current system where I can actually have a build going without installing maven. If I want to see the docs I can go to the website (or curse the need for maven, but I can cope). I have a general allergy to cutting edge cvs projects relying on other cutting edge cvs projects, the whole thing becomes too much like a house of cards.
I totally agree with you on that one. XDoclet is a hairball inside (although
it works pretty well). (I know of a few other successful projects that are
hairballs too). Learning, maintaining and building XDoclet has become a
(too) difficult task, and that's why we have started a rewrite of XDoclet:
XDoclet2. It will have a more maintainable build system (Maven) (I refuse to
discuss Maven with you Hani :-)), more JUnit tests, better design,
blablabla.
I'll try to make some time to look over xdoclet2 sources soon and hopefully provide some feedback.
