I'm sending this email to reach out to people interested in XMLBeans, we
the active committers, were wondering if there is anybody actively using
XMLBeans that might be interested in adding new features, small fixes or
just have new ideas.
We made a rough list with things we think they will be useful to have:
- add full support for generics, default to JDK 1.5
- finish support for XMLSchema 1.1, many details around 1.1 built-in
schema types are already in
- better .xsdconfig, add support for different value serialization to
support bug XMLBEANS-451.
Please don't be shy any response is appreciated,
OK - here goes....
(1) Allow interface extensions to override inherited methods while
specialising the return type (allowed in vanilla JDK 1.5, but getting this
to work in XMLBeans needs some serious acrobatics). Probably part of the
generics aspect, but please make sure that this doesn't get overlooked!
(2) Full control of the options given to the Java compiler used internally
by scomp. For example, I have had to work around the inability to give it
the -bootclasspath option in various hacky ways.
(3) When one interface extension depends on another, I have to use a complex
multi-stage schema compilation with careful management of the .xsdconfig
files to get everything to build. It would be fantastic to be able to do the
whole compilation in a single step.
I really appreciate this invitation to contribute ideas like this. I had
intended to submit these ideas to JIRA, but I haven't found the time to
prepare test cases.
Regards,
Peter.
