Page is definitely out of synch,  and new release is
really due - but there are some rough sports 
( like automatic docs upload etc ) which require some
manpowr, which I'm lacking right now.

well, then you 'll have to grab all the dependencies 
yourself.  they reside ( for xdoclet / generama /
plugins part ) in http://dist.codehaus.org/

you may also try some magic from maven dist plugin to 
puzt everything together.

this is for historical reasons because it is (was) way

easier to nominate new commiters for plugin on
sourceforge, while there was much less people working
on the core ( which is now released & mature )

NOrmally you would not need to checkout anything but
plugins itself to build them.  Since plugins have m2
build ( m1 could be out of date ) , everything
necessary would be downloaded automatically.

Well, for me it looks that commons-logging or log4j
barfed on unknown cause ( probably  stale jar ) while
creating qdox plugin
( at least this states that you got your configuration
right, otherwise you will get exceptions fm pico ) 

As for tags not being seen, common cause is lack of 
javax.servlet* classes on classpath.
