Hi Jaya:
I was just pondering about this when something struck my mind. At the time of maven can it be possible to give a customization option something like maven.singlejar.include={ comma seperated list of modules } , which would decide what the axis2.jar should contain. In that way, ppl who want Axis2 to be just as much shim as possible (say mobile devices) can just look for core and xml to be in their axis2.jar, whereas who wish to have it as much robust as possible can even think of having jaxrpc (if at all it comes out :-) ) module bundled up in their axis2.jar
+1, definitely! We could allow direct customization like you describe (specify a specific list of jars), and also allow for "modes", like:
axis.jarstyle = [full, compact, jaxws, xmlBeans, embedded, etc] --G
