My votes are
1. +1 to fixing bean field names for beta 2
2. +1 to fixing xsd:date mapping for beta 2
3. -1 to not including C++ code in beta 2
I'd prefer to never include the C++ code in any release of the Java version of Axis. We should have separate downloads just like there are Java and C versions of Xerces that are downloaded separately.
