Dominique,
Have you looked deep into proposal/xdocs to see how its documentation generation was done? How much of what you're doing is reinventing what was done there? Sounds almost identical. I leveraged IntrospectionHelper as well as the XDoclet object model to get all the info I needed.

I'm working on a combination task/doclet to document Ant tasks/types.
Currently, Ant gives access to enumerations of names for attributes and nested elements for a given type thru IntrospectionHelper, and once one has a name, the Java Class for that attribute/nested-element, but on the other hand it does not provide access to the actual method used to set the attribute or add/create the nested elements.
My goal is to extract the Javadoc comments from the appropriate method for a given attribute/nested-element, out of the doclet, but I don't want to recode a brittle mapping from attribute name back to the corresponding Java method, especially when Ant already has this info, albeit with no public accessor.
Furthermore, the new Ant 1.6+ add[Configured](Class) extensions points stored in addTypeMethods are again not accessible publicly at all.
Does anyone objects to adding access to this information? Thanks, --DD
