Duplicate QName class

[rsitze]

I know there was some recent conversation related to this issue, and I think the concensus was NOT to use the Sun implementation because of licensing constraints. In the meantime, we still have java.xml.namespace.QName defined in two places (from AXISs' perspective):

jaxrpc.jar
wsdl4j.jar

We should remove it from one or the other. Given that AXIS pulls wsdl4j.jar, it doesn't make sense that wsdl4j introduce a dependency on AXIS::jaxrpc.jar (circular build dependency).

So:

1. Can we move jaxrpc.jar & source files into commons or some independent (small) project?
2. Alternatively, everyone OK with removing java.xml.namespace.QName from AXIS::jaxrpc.jar and depending upon the version in wsdl4j? Is the wsdl4j::QName up-to-par with the recent changes made to the AXIS version?
