My usage of word "branch" is misleading. I'm absolutly not considering a SVN
branch. I'm considering something along the line of "repository clone" à la
Mercurial.
The kind of arrangement I have in mind is:
1) Refraction (or other) SVN targeting Java 5.
2) Mercurial clone for that SVN (we already have one running).
3) A second mercurial repository which is a clone of (2) but targeting Java 6.
* Development applicable for both Java 5 and Java 6 are done on (1).
* Development specific to Java 6 (JAXB, maybe more) are done on (3).
* All work done on (1) is automatically merged to (3) by cron table.
* Work done on (3) are not merged to (1) until the switch to Java 6.
Similar repository clones could be created for "lightweight referencing", etc.
as experience teach us.

Nothing as far as I known... We have not done any JAXB related work on GeoTools
for many weeks... But its look like that the conclusion is that having JAXB on
trunk is a cause of problems, so we may be better to put it somewhere else.
