My opinion is that it is not correct to release with a new dependency
that brings 120+ deprecation warnings. At the same time, I'm very
reluctant to rewrite all getXXXArray() to getXXXList() just to keep
javac quiet. I wonder if it is possible to suppress them and build
ooxml-schemas-1.1.jar with JDK 1.5 support AND getXXXArray() being not
deprecated. Perhaps XmlBeans 2.4 does a better job.
The purpose of switching to ooxml-schemas-1.1.jar is to use shorter and
nicer code. Instead we just switch jars and get tons of warnings.
I see two paths to follow:
(a) revert to ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar and re-cut release. I'm +1 in advance.
(b) abort the vote, test-drive ooxml-schemas-1.1.jar for a month or so
and cut release in July.
Current combination of old code and new new jar does not work for me.

Then re-cut release and only after it change trunk to use
ooxml-schemas-1.1.jar. This way it will be safe.
That would mean that we wouldn't get any feedback from the beta about
how well the JDK 1.5 version (ooxml-schemas-1.1) performs though. It
is a beta, so I'm personally happy to have something in there that
ought to work but might break in odd situations (I've inadvertantly
been testing the 1.1 jar for ages without issue, and I'm probably no
the only one!)
I'll also promise to RM another beta release in a month, or sooner if
we discover a big snag! Is that likely to be enough for people, or is
there a view that we should keep things very stable here, and
potentially have the next beta be less stable?
