L.S.,

Thanks for pointing that out!  It's good to know that the CXF community can
facilitate those quick fix releases if necessary.  By all means, if you or
any of the other guys has some bandwidth to do the extra release, that would
obviously be great.  I guess the 'quick fix' that Freeman mentioned became
the real solution then...

I just gave things a quick try here and just upgrading to CXF 2.4.4-SNAPSHOT
does seem to work out fine for the most part.  There are some test failures
in some of the itests, but those may well be something I missed in my
attempt to quickly test this.  Other than that, the resulting kit does seem
to work fine - it does have multiple versions of the CXF features descriptor
installed because the Camel descriptor still points at the old version (cfr.
one of the issues that came up in the 'Features' thread earlier on).

As far as I am concerned, this is just a minor inconvenience compared to the
possible benefit of being able to upgrade to more recent fix versions of
almost anything else, so if the offer to provide a CXF 2.4.4 fix release
still stands, we'd highly appreciate that.

(my apologies for the annoyance - it was in no way intentional, in
ServiceMix-land we always have to wait for the entire universe to align to
do a release - fancy a Belgian beer or some chocolates some day to make up
for it ? ;)).


Regards,

Gert Vanthienen
