Hi Nolan,
I think the design plan is as outlined. The refactoring will happen between
now and our next milestone. The old tools will continue to work until we
make the switch and delete them - but the new tools should pretty much
function the exact same from a class/interface standpoint. We're simply
changing things underneath.

Hi,

Will you be putting up a design plan for these changes as if we need to
refactor or change things in Yoko then we need to plan these tasks/changes
into our milestones and it would be good to know in advance.

Thanks, Edell.

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.
