Both returned nothing.  I wish this was documented.  We are blind, 
shooting in the dark hoping to hit something.

Firstly I don't want to actually run any goals within the xdoclet 
plugin.  I would but I can't in my case because of limitations of the 
plugin.
I'm trying to reduce the number of dependencies listed in my project.xml 
via only depending on the plugin and then dynamically fetching those 
dependencies from within my maven.xml for when I use xdoclet directly. 
Perhaps it isn't worth it.
