Hi Edell，
Yes，i know, the STP project also depends on cxf tools, so actually the
API will not change a lot, by default the API will keep the same.
But we do allow you to pass in the front end profile or databinding
profile to generate the code other than jaxws and jaxb
And all the refactoring will be stay in tools2, the tools will be kept
until we think it's time to migrate.
Cheers,
James.
Hi,
Yoko tools depends very much on the cxf tools and any api changes will have a
big impact so if you intend changing any - can you send an email to let us know.
Thanks, Edell.

Subject: Tooling refactoring plan
The goals of the refactoring are:
1. Reuse the service model
2. Support multiple databinding plugins（jaxb, xmlbeans etc.) 3.
Support multiple frontend plugins (jaxws frontend, simple frontend
etc.)
Add one goal :
Make our tools more plugable and extensible. Support pluggable generator to
generate deployment descriptor ,configuration etc .
Support code modification plugin which can modify the generated code like JAXB
plugin can do.

and we plan to
1. Copy Tools to Tools2, which will depend on RT temporarily.
the Tools2 will be a framework, it works as a CLI,
and it'll load the service builder plugin, frontend plugins and
databinding plugins according to the input.
and works as a main controller.
2. After all the test passed, then we start move the RT/Core to top
level Core, after that the dependency of Tools2 looks like
API <- Core <- Tools2 <- TestUtils <- RT
3. Move the JaxWs specific processors and generators from Tools2 to
rt/frontend/jaxws
Move the Jaxb specific code from the Tools2 to rt/databiding/jaxb
Comments:
The benefit of moving is it will keep the tools framework clean,
but it make packaging harder, and the tools in RT, seems weird.
It's weird . I think it should be place to tools . Runtime only includes the stuff used in runtime .
4. Migrating to the Tools2, check the testutils works fine, RT tests
pass, System tests pass etc.
Remove Tools
Rename Tools2 as Tools
Comments or Objections?
Cheers,
James.
