The Geronimo jaxb usage is sort of in a strange place right now, and
it's not clear how we should proceed with the upgrade to jaxb 2.2.
Currently, the specs project has a 2.1 version of the specs, but the 2.2
version has not been created yet. As far as current usage goes:
In 2.2, the geronimo spec jar is used for the APIs and the Glassfish
reference implementation is the impl (javax.bind.xml.jaxb-impl).
In 3.0, we're currently picking up both the impl and api bundles from
the servicemix bundles collection, which means the RI versions of the
classes are being used throughout. Servicemix does not have a 2.2 set
of bundles yet.
To upgrade to 2.2, should we
1) Nudge servicemix to make a 2.2 version available and use that
version for both the implementation and the api
2) Only use the servicemix implementation in combination with a
geronimo jaxb 2.2 spec jar.
3) Create our own jaxb 2.2 bundle and use with the geronimo jaxb spec jar.
Past history would suggest we should be doing either 2) or 3). Thoughts?
