Thanks Robert.
The reason I ask is because doing a Google on XDOC also comes up with the
following site:
http://www.openmechanics.org/projects/xdoc/
Which I assume is not the same XDOC?
it doesn't look like it is.
So from what I can tell, JDOM is a simple API for manipulating XML,
Velocity is a template engine, Anakia is a project (and from what I can
tell, pretty much an Ant task) that puts JDOM and Velocity together (and
which itself only exists as a sub-project of Velocity), and XDOC is an
extension to Anakia specifically for Maven - is that correct? If it is,
why did the Maven folk prefer to invent a new technology rather than
extend the existing Anakia project?
(i'm not a maven developer so this is probably a different perspective than those within the project have.)
IMHO the reason why maven developed a new implementation is a combination of:
1. anakia's format is very widely used around apache but the actual project is now pretty old, has some issues and is not really maintained.
2. the maven team prefers the best possible solutions even if that means developing fresh.
