Description

The documentation http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jelly/tutorial.html I found confusing for the jelly swing section. I kept typing maven demo:swing and it didn't work.

I tried it and then it did, the key was to be in /src/jelly-tags/swing as the goals are provided by the maven.xml file there.

I have attached a patch that updates the documentation a bit.

Here is the documentation patch! Hope others aren't confused in the future.

The docs aren't confusing... they are wrong.

The project website fails to reflect that Jelly has moved out of the sandbox and into the main jakarta-commons (even though it happened some time ago...) Very irratating to checkout the sandbox and not find what I was looking for.

You also need to build the jar ("maven jar" in the jelly root dir) before you can run the demo.

"maven -g" is no help either. Maybe I'm blind, or it was lost in the myriad of other possible maven goals on my system, but I saw no goals for demo:swing

I'm giving Jelly the benefit of the doubt, since it's under the Jakarta umbrella... If it wasn't I'd have just given up. What a pain in the rear just to demo.
