Hi Anders,

Thanks for your suggestions. I like your procedure of publishing a jar file, as that provides a clean separation of responsibilities across projects.
I also agree with Dan, regarding preview while authoring. So I'm playing with this thought:
- The sub-projects deliver the jars as Anders describes
- An author periodically runs a build command which extracts the dependencies into a .gitignore directory in his local Git repository.

In that way, the author does have a "live preview" of the documents.

More research and experimentation needed indeed. I would really like this to result into a standard (default) project and directory layout for AsciiDoc documents. This would greatly benefit the perceived maturity of AsciiDoc and the toolchain.
