Well, xdoclet as we know it is splitted into 3 parts:
- generama ( generic generator framework, also used independently )
- xdoclet ( veing generama extension )
- plugins ( living on sourceforge and following own release cycle )
There was far more developers for plugins than for core, so project was
not moved to codehaus.

Well, as I do not use those features, I can not say whether they are
in a good shape ;) You may just try. Vanilla EJB must be good,
AS specific stuff ( if it is not jboss ) will be in not so good shape.
If there is no value object plugin, it can be added easily
because we use sane templating engine now ( velocity )

well, you have got only maven2 plugin - if you look one
floor up, there will be more ;)
basically you do not need binary distro if you are using m2,
but you can always build your own from plugin sources
( check out everything, recompile everything, and then build dist from
distribution suibdirectory )

There is confluence on codehaus,
and I would be happy to upload any provided text to it ;)
