ahh. Fully automated PDF generation is still on the todo list.

Appendix E is "appendix E" of Java development with Ant, which was done by

-writing the xdoclet based stuff in the sandbox to generate simple 
documentation from the source
-annotating every single file with meaningful descriptions
-generating some intermediate form
-fixing it up by hand in frame maker (which took a professional typesetter)

We want to improve automated doc generation, but nobody has invested the 
effort in setting up the build process or porting all existing docs+ 
examples, which would be a lot of work.
