But I think that at the end of the days it boils down to what you think of the whole approach to project building. Some people appreciate Maven a lot (me among them), having gone through the pains of building complex multi-component projects with plain Ant. Some people think it's over-engineered and too complex. I personally feel that the advantages of Maven outweigh the problems one may have. And - if worst comes to worst - if something does not work one can always implements whatever is needed in plain Ant though Maven, so one really looses nothing of Ant in using Maven. One is not obliged to generate the site using xdoc, but may do so if it convenenient.
