I getcha.  It did not occur to me to bundle the content generation into a
maven plugin, although it certainly is possible.  But I'm wondering if its a
good move in the grand scheme of things.  Personally I believe its important
to create as few obstacles as possible to submitting components to
componenthaus, indeed, there should be positive incentives to use the thing,
so I would be more inclined to leave this functionality be a componenthaus
service.  Generating a componenthaus look and feel and having it spread as
static content across various web sites would be counter productive.  What
ya reckon?

Cheers,
Mike.
