Hi Alex, Philip, 

Did the original message go to the list and get eaten by google spam filter?

The wiki stuff isn't, I don't believe, as it was not in CVS.

I put a bit of effort into getting a clean webmacro build together, 
but got no feedback so haven't given it much attention recently. 

Javacc inches slowly towards a 4.1 release, at which time I will have 
another go at regenerating the parser and integrating the 
javacc maven plugin into the build. 

The current build is available at http://webmacro.sourceforge.net/maven2/org/webmacro/webmacro/

I think there is a bit of documentation in the CVS tree I could link up to the current site, 
at that time, I can't get back into WebMacro again at the moment, and I 
was rather deafened by the silence that greeted the move to Maven.


cheers
