Hi,
Scout is upgrading their maven build and wants to use our spec
jars, and we need to get several released for 2.2. The one scout
needs now is jaxb 2.1.
We've run the jaxb 2.1 tck on it and it works.
This is the first release of this spec jar from geronimo.
I'm having a bit of trouble promoting the uploads in apache nexus
so for now I put them on people.apache.org: when I figure out how
to promote them I'll post an updated location.
Staging site for artifacts:

Voting will remain open for 72 hours.
Source and signatures look good.
The LICENSE and NOTICE file in the source and binary are different.
The source versions contains license and notice information that is
not contained in the binary version. I don't see how that can be
correct. One of the pairs must be wrong. Until this is resolved,
I'm -1.
I looked at svn history. This spec came from servicemix where it
was written entirely by gnodet. The servicemix svn contains the
smaller generic LICENSE and NOTICE files. Someone added the
expanded ones to all our spec projects at some point.
So my conclusion is that the plain vanilla LICENSE and NOTICE files
are more correct for this spec project. I'll update them in trunk.
Now, Apache has a long and unfortunate tradition of including extra
crud in LICENSE and NOTICE files. Much as I don't like
participating in this tradition I'm not sure I think this one is
worth rerolling the release for.
I'll ask the scout folks if they can run their release vote
concurrently with this vote -- if they can I'll re-roll this one.
Thanks a bunch for digging through svn history. That makes sense. I'd
prefer to see updated license/notice files. If only license/notice are
being updated, I'm not sure a new, full 72-hour vote would be required.
