Hmmm. It appears that my problems stem from trying to build the documentation. That doesn't seem to happen with a bare "mvn package"; at least, target/apidocs contains only a META-INFO directory. I get this first:
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-xdoc-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found
I can work around that, I think, but then maven can't find xmlpull, which is needed by kxml. That's provided by xpp3, I think, but there is no depmap fragment saying so.
On the other hand, now that I look closer, the maven build punts to ant to do the actual building, so perhaps I shouldn't even be worrying about this.
