That is simply not true. I would like to ask you to prove what you
are saying or refrain from spreading FUD.

First of all, that's not in domain of XMvn. That's related to new Java
guidelines (which you don't want to discuss). Secondly, this
documentation is already available and was announced on the mailing list.

XMvn is just a build tool. It's driven by configuration. It does
exactly what user asks it to do. Configuration options are described
in development branch available in git and it will be available in
Fedora with version 0.4.0. If you want to have impact then I welcome
you to verify the latest documentation (I'll describe how to generate
it if you are interested). If you think that there is something missing
in the documentation then we can work on improving it.
