Description
I'm having a problem using XML entities inside xdoc files.
I like to create XML entities for my XML documentation for common things like links to API docs, or to descriptions of my schemas.
So, I have a file, services.xml, which begins:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE document [
<!ENTITY % common-links SYSTEM "../common/links.xml">
%common-links;
]>
Inside common/links.xml I have stuff like:
<!ENTITY _module '<module>'>
<!ENTITY module '<a href="descriptor.html#module">&_module;</a>'>
And that works properly in my docs; <module> appears as a link when I use
&module; in the document.
However, if you do something simpler it fails:
<!ENTITY api.IFactory 'IFactory'>
Appears in the output as a blank space.
<!ENTITY api.IFactory '<IFactory>'>
Appears as: <IFactory>
<!ENTITY api.IFactory '[IFactory]'>
Appears as: ]
<!ENTITY api.IFactory '<a
href="apidocs/org/apache/commons/hivemind/IFactory.html">IFactory</a>'>
Appears as:
<a href="apidocs/org/apache/commons/hivemind/IFactory.html">
tory
</a>
Something appears screwed up in the xdoc processing pipeline. Does this all sound familiar?
Alternately, is there another way to accomplish my goals (using some kind of Velocity markup?)

If you want to see the real sources, this is part of HiveMind (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/hivemind). You can, obviously, get latest from CVS and build using Maven.
You poor suckers ... you've created a system where the easiest test case is: download my project and build it for me!
