RE: [Springframework-developer] Creating documentation from Spring beans definition files (e.g. like HiveMind's HiveDoc)

[Torsten J. <tju...@ya...>]

Rod created an issue in JIRA
(http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-87
) for this topic. Darren already added some
requirements.

We should use this JIRA issue to keep track on
additional requirements, design infos and source code
like the stylesheets provided by Daniel and Don.
