+Guide to using Modello
+
+ Modello is a tool for generating resources from a simple model. From a simple model you can generate
+ things like:
+
+ * Java sources
+
+ * XML serialization code for the model
+
+ * XML deserialization code for model
+
+ * Model documentation
+
+ * XSD
+
+ * JDO bindings
+
+ []
+
+ A typical modello model looks like the following:
+
+%{snippet|id=modello-model|url=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-archetype/maven-archetype-core/src/main/mdo/archetype.mdo}
+
+ To utilize Modello you would configure the <<<maven-modello-plugin>>> something like the following where you want
+ to generate the Java sources for the model, the xpp3 serialization code and the xpp3 deserialization code:
