I've just put a very simple line in for each - copied from the respective=20
project.xml files (description tag). This whole page (index.xml) ought to b=

automatic - and there are some changes in the multiproject plugin in CVS he=
ad=20
that may help (but I've not tried it) about an "overview page".

doxygen depends on ant-doxygen (http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/) - wh=
ich=20
is GPL, so could be included in the plugin-resources - but its not my plugi=
n=20
so I've done nothing there :-)

Siegfried - see private mail re: kodo - it depends on commercial jars (for=
=20
RUNTIME), and hence you cannot distribute these jar's - just put something =
in=20
your repository as placeholders for these jars to keep the build happy - it=
s=20
not going to actually use them since they are not BUILD dependencies.


You may find that you need to remove the xdocs/navigation.xml to get the=20
correct website navigation generation - "maven multiproject" takes the orde=
r=20
of 2 hours (!) to run on my laptop due to Maven's leaking memory, so haven'=

played with it much.
