Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook/XML, done with Java
Hi, I've got this distribution called jdocbook which is an integration of ant, java, stylesheets, catalog support etc. I've been pretty reluctant to release it since I didn't really want to support it but if you are interested I could do a limited release to a few people and then see if I want to go further. Certainly, if you like it you can use it free as in Free Software. There are a few things that need to be enhanced even for my own use but been pretty lazy.
