qdox tag vs xdoclet tags

[Yannick Menager <ym...@fastmail.fm>]

I've been using the ant tasks to generate descriptors. However there's 
one thing i don't like about them, they don't integrate with ant 
attributes....

what I mean is, in xdoclet you can ( well, could, if there was a xdoclet 
avalon module ) do:

@avalon.component version="${version}" name="sample" life

and the ${version} gets replaced if by it's ant property. Makes life 
easier to version groups of components :)

Its feasible to address this with the avalon-maven plugin.

All we need to do is to recognize sepecific ${xxx} fields and substitute 
that with project derived properties.
