Hi!

This might not be the right forum, but I figure that people here would know…

I am in a project where we have used Tomcat 5.0.x and WebDoclet (XDoclet) for web.xml and taglib deployment descriptors.

Now we have decided to upgrade to Tomcat 5.5 and JDK 1.5 (from 1.4) for various reasons.

XDoclet haven’t had a release lately and does not support, e.g. annotations.
Therefore, I am wondering if WebDoclet still is the tool to use for deployment descriptors or if there is something new and better.
If there is not and WebDoclet is what people use are there then any known limitations?

I want my solution to work with Ant and possibly Maven.

Jimisola, ask the Maven folks what they are using. THis is actually a great question, I just have no idea but I am sure they would given the nature of Maven and how it works.

Hi,

I want something that works with Ant first and foremost.
Hence, just like XDoclet but perhaps with annotiations support etc.

I had to add several none official patches to make XDoclet work with Java 1.5.

Maven has a low priority. Making it work with Maven is my least concern to be honest.
