As far as I have understood (others with more knowledge, might want to confirm or correct me), a project cannot “just” be activated again. What you can do easily is one of two possibilities: - Clone the project to a new project, which then have its own life. If you want to do this within ASF, you need to follow the rules for creating a new TLP. - Copy the project into POI (keep it as a separate directory etc). This can be done without any paperwork at all, you just need to put a short text in the release notes of POI. The advantage here is you can change whatever you want, the disadvantage (if that is a disadvantage) is that you cannot make a XMLBeans release. I recommend simply copy the source files into POI. rgds Jan I.
