Hi folks: I've taken the current Axiom trunk, branched it off (although it looks like we're using tags/ for branches for axiom, which seems a little odd...) updated the version number, and uploaded the artifacts here:
http://people.apache.org/~gdaniels/axiom/dist/1.2.8/ Please kick the tires, and respond with a +1 (please indicate binding/non-binding) if you are good with these artifacts. --Glen
