While I generally prefer Scala to Java, one experiment I have not done is try "new" Java, i.e., write Java, but not the old bad Java style, but by making use of all the new stuff that has been added over the past years, much of which was borrowed from Scala to support a more functional programming style. If you want to try this, I'd support this idea of trying Java for this on that basis. But otherwise I'd still advocate that we should use Scala. If scalaxb is not working but jaxb is, you can certainly use the jaxb stuff from Scala. It may not be as smooth or type-safe as scalaxb, but would still let you write in Scala. Also, since Daffodil's tdml.xml is open-source, we can submit a good bug report to the scalaxb maintainers so they can reproduce whatever the problem is, and maybe with our help it gets fixed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
