Well, xdoclet as we know it  is splitted into 3 parts:
 - generama ( generic generator framework, also used independently ) =

 - xdoclet ( veing generama extension ) =

 - plugins ( living on sourceforge and following own release cycle )

There was far more developers for plugins than for core, so project was
not moved to codehaus. =

Well,  as I do not use those features, I can not say whether they are =

in a good shape ;)  You may just try.  Vanilla EJB must be good, =

AS specific stuff ( if it is not jboss ) will be in not so good shape.
If there is no value object plugin, it can be added easily
because we use sane templating engine now ( velocity ) =

well, you have got only maven2 plugin - if you look one =

floor up, there will be more ;) =


basically you do not need binary distro if you are using m2,
but you can always build your own  from plugin sources
( check out everything,  recompile  everything, and then build dist from =

distribution suibdirectory ) =
