So ews generates java source code and compiles it? Is there any way to
skip the Java source generation and thus the need for a compiler?

I think code generation is a must as the axis stub/skeltons need to be generated anyway.
but there may be a way out. We can provide the ews as a tools and ask user
to run it(in here the ews can find the tools.jar in the same way ant/maven
find it, via shell script) and then geronimo can deploy the generated
code. (If I am right sun RI ask use to run the generater ws* before deploy
code).
To me it is better if we can say to the user "give us the bundle the J2EE
spec talk about and we will do the rest!!!", but if there practical
problems I think it is ok to ask user to run EWS themselves and then
deploy.
If we need to generate Java source code and compile it, then I would rather have the deployment process simply do that. What I was really getting at is can we simply generate the byte code directly and skip the Java source generation and compile steps?
