Hmmm. It appears that my problems stem from trying to build the
documentation. That doesn't seem to happen with a bare "mvn package";
at least, target/apidocs contains only a META-INFO directory. I get
this first:
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-xdoc-plugin' does
not exist or no valid version could be found
I can work around that, I think, but then maven can't find xmlpull,
which is needed by kxml. That's provided by xpp3, I think, but there
is no depmap fragment saying so.
On the other hand, now that I look closer, the maven build punts to
ant to do the actual building, so perhaps I shouldn't even be worrying
about this.
Well, it would be nice to get the automatically generated OSGi
manifest you get with the maven-based builds of jakarta commons
products.
