Hi Bob,
There are still copies of Serna floating around out there, but it is not a
good long-term solution. Serna (for those of us who have a copy) does
support 4.5, but I think the real issue was the lack of this dependency
here http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.docbook/docbook-xml. I think we
just need to find the artifact someplace, but maybe those people who
understand Maven more than I do (everyone) might be able to figure it out?
Maybe here?

https://maven-us.nuxeo.org/nexus/content/repositories/public/docbook/docbook-xml/4.5/


Agree, that upgrading to 4.5 would be much better.

Regards,
Jason
