> Krysalis Centipede

> > Krysalis Centipede is a template for a software module; gives you build with Ant and Site+Documentation with Apache Cocoon.

> > Centipede is a starter project, empty in many respects, but has a decent and standardized Ant build file, and some xdocs that render to HTML using Cocoon. A developer would take Centipede and use it to start development. After starting, the build file would evolve as the developer see fit and move away from the Centipede starting point. Subsequent releases of Centipede will address the issues found using it, and evolve on user requests-issues.
