Hi,
the ResourceDoclet is part of the maven-wadl-plugin as I introduced it
(the ResourceDoclet) together with this plugin. The initial purpose of
the plugin was to create an extended wadl (wadl enriched with javadoc),
and to be able to create wadl at build time. During the development,
more and more things related to the extended wadl were moved from the
maven-wadl-plugin to the main jersey artifacts, so that finally the
responsibility of the maven-wadl-plugin was only for creating the
(extended) wadl at build time from maven.
To get things completely clean the ResourceDoclet should be extracted as
a separate artifact (e.g. com.sun.jersey.contribs.wadl-resource-doclet),
as this is not related to maven at all. The fqn of the ResourceDoclet
would not need to be changed, therefore existing configurations using
the ResourceDoclet would only have to declare another dependency
(respectively use another jar-file).
Any objections?
Cheers,
Martin
