This file should have the suffix .txt so that it can be opened easily on platforms that use suffix mappings. Documentation is available . This directory may also contain other documentation files. It is then checked into CVS and checked out of CVS on the live website. This allows the user to browse the documentation on the local host without requiring network connectivity as well as on the live website.
Some projects choose to check in documentation for their website to ease maintanence of site.
This may be a superset of the documentation included in the documentation provided in distributions. If the project includes regular distributions then the website should be an image of documentation of last release. Once checked into the CVS it is expected that the documentation will also be checked out on live website. Browsing the documentation locally should yield the same results as browsing the documentation on the sub-project home page on the Jakarta web site. At some point, we will have the Alexandria project building the documentation for all of the Jakarta Projects and making the API documentation available that way.
