[JIRA] Commented: (CC-202) generate configxml.html automatically

Seth Pollen commented on CC-202:
--------------------------------

One more note: Our year-long software student practicum is about to end, and we are handing our project (CC-Config/GenDoc) off to a new student team in mid-November. The next team may or may not find new features or fixes to add to the GenDoc package, but I think that the patch submitted above leaves the package in a consistent state. I will leave the link to this JIRA ticket for the next student team so that they can pick the project up if they need to.

> Several people have expressed their desire of having such feature.
> xdoclet sounds like a good candidate for this problem. If addressed that way, this issue can be broken down in several steps:
> - identify the documentation requirements
> - create a tag specification that would allow to solve these requirements. 
>   We might lose some features as we will perhaps not be able to be as flexible as with the manual documentation
> - write the xdoclet tags that help to generate the intermediate XML
> - create an XSL template that generates the HTML from the intermediate XML
> - move the current configxml.html into tags inside the code
> - update the build/release process to generate the documentation
