We've distributed JAXB in Geronimo releases, as a CDDL binary-only jar (no source or jar checked into svn.) To do so, you just need to include the appropriate info in the LICENSE and NOTICE files for your project. See - https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/tags/geronimo-2.1.5/LICENSE.txt https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/tags/geronimo-2.1.5/NOTICE.txt
BUT, if your project can use the Java SE 5 or 6 provided levels of JAXB, then I strongly suggest you not provide your own. We had to include different levels in Geronimo, as the Java EE spec was always one generation of JAXB ahead of the Java SE spec.... 1) LICENSE - third-party licenses after the ASL 2.0 text - ========================================================================= == Sun CDDL License == == JAXB-API, JAXB, JAXWS, JSTL, SAAJ == ========================================================================= COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION LICENSE (CDDL) Version 1.0 <license text here....> 2) NOTICE - third-party required notices - . . .
