Description

Currently the docbook generation for the Java Broker and (legacy) JMS Client use Make.

Switching it to use the docbkx-tools maven plugin will simplify the release process by eliminating a number of manual steps. It will remove the need to manually synchronise variables between the commonEntities files and the POMs. Also as docbkx-tools has no external dependencies (such as Doxia), it will mean developers on Windows PC with restricted toolset will be able to generate the docbooks.
