As I said in the proposal, I was just recommending a documentation naming change with *no* code change, hence no POM changes. (As the JAX-WS front end code subclasses the Simple front end classes, calling those classes "simple" is still OK.) And, yes, the two doc pages we have on the Simple front end would have noted they were originally called the simple front end, but were being renamed so future users aren't being overly encouraged to use that front end.

But, the docs have already said for two years now that everyone should first start with the JAX-WS front end, and it's already our default when you use the wsdl2java tools. So I guess we can continue to name it the Simple front end without much lost.
