Documentation question
This is not a complaint! :-)
But ...
Is there a PDF of the Ant documentation available anywhere? The individual webpages that describe the usage of Ant and it's tasks are on the whole very good and obviously written by people who care to communicate to others. But it would be very convenient to have a PDF of the documentation gathered into a single document that could be printed or viewed in-situ.
I started experimenting with pulling such a document together at home, but before I go any further, I thought that I'd better ask. How is the current document web constructed? Are there source documents in XML or some equivalent? Is anyone else working on a parallel track? I find ant so useful, that I would gladly help to pull such a document together as a small repayment to the ant community.
Your thoughts please.
Simon
P.S. Still no word on the ant shirts. Can one of the commiters or ASF board members kick someone?! :-)

The Doxygen [http://www.doxygen.org] documentation system supports generation
of PDFs from Javadoc comments, including a graphical class hierarchy. There
is even an Ant task for running Doxygen:

It has worked very well for me.
