> The configuration documentation page is generated as a static html page at build time.  There are a few drawbacks to this:
>  
>  * If the build process fails, it will generate an incorrect page.  Currently I think the build process only works correctly if the maven scripts are run twice.
>  * If someone changes the configuration names or defaults in the code, but forgets to check in the updated html page then its out of sync.
> It would be better if the monitor just generated the page dynamically.  The documentation html page could link to a servlet in the monitor.
