Will add as a new subproject named jibxeclipse if that is ok.

I looked through sitematic and sort of follow it but I have a couple 
questions...

1) Where do the source documents for the site documentation go?  If I 
look in CVS under core I see the generated docs but not the source 
documents. Do you only version control the generated docs?

2) The jibx soap source documents are under sitematic. Was this just 
done to provide an example of how to use sitematic or should the 
jibxeclipse source documents be checked in there as well?

I'll probably just distribute as a zip file for now.

Thanks,
