Hi Jim,
good call out.
The first I can think of is aegis databinding. Is the aegis databinding
still used by CXF users ? Is it a good time to deprecate and remove in the
future release ?
I liked the databinding in the past but nowadays JAXB is the standard.
To get an indication who else might be still using it, I checked
https://repository.apache.org/#central-stat for
org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-databinding-aegis: Last month 4.0.0 17944
downloads (29% of total) and 3.3.10 8513 downloads (14%). For comparison
cxf-rt-databinding-jaxb 3.5.5 79295 (9%) and 4.0.3 60053 (7%).
Best,
Dennis
