First of all, thanks a lot for the extensive and quick answer :)

Indeed, I've seen in the subversion link (and only there) that the latest v=
ersion is 2.0.7. My problem was, there is no roadmap or timeline of the pro=
ject on the webpage so I couldn't know if version 2.0.7 was released last w=
eek or 2 years ago. Even the JIRA of the XDoclet2 project lists as latest r=
elease version 1.0.5... again without a release date, but I opened by chanc=
e one of the fixed issues and it said last modify date August 08.

I'm using EJB2, ValueObjects and Struts 1 :) it's an outdated project I jus=

fely use XDoclet2 for these 3 features?

Some migration work was expected, but I thought there would be around some =

Ok, then how do I get to the rest? As I said, checking out the link on the =
webpage (http://svn.codehaus.org/xdoclet/tags/maven2-xdoclet2-plugin-2.0.7)=
 left me only with a handful files. Or I could also skip that, as long I ha=
ve the binary distribution... anyway.

Any comment on the ValueObject module? It's still missing in the 1.0.4 bina=
ry release of XDocletPlugins...

The link gave me 404 - page not found... but a search on sourceforge got me=
 the right link http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdoclet-plugins/

Once again thanks for the information. I only wish I could have read this i=
nfo on the project's web page... is there a way one could write it down the=
re? I can upload it myself if time is the problem - just let me know if it'=
s fine with everybody.

Cheers,
