+started, known bugs and any other issues.  Please send all feedback to

+
+2) What is Apache Forrest?
+--------------------------
+
+Apache Forrest is an XML standards-oriented documentation framework based on
+Apache Cocoon, providing XSLT stylesheets and schemas, images and other
+resources. Forrest uses these to render the XML source content into a website
+via command-line, robot, or a dynamic web application.  For more details,
+please see the website at http://forrest.apache.org/

+  This can be obtained from http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html
+  or other places.
+
+- To build from source requires a Java Development Kit (1.2 or higher)
+
+Ant is not required: Forrest uses its own version of Ant in tools/ant/

+schemas), source code and Forrest's own website documentation.
