My sense is that none of the tools is a "perfect fit" out of the box, so it's just a matter of working through the necessary customizations. I think I'm quite close to being satisfied with XMLBeans -- I suspect I just need to straighten out our Geronimo namespace and then wait for the XMLBeans project to put something in the Maven repository.
But just to state my requirements, here's what I can think up off the top of my head:
Hi,
Since Geronimo "is bringing together leading members of the Castor, JBoss, MX4J and OpenEJB communities" I couldn't believe we couldn't start with Castor as the best fit (even if it's not already). If there're something missing in the tool I'd bet it's going the highest priority to fix it as the tool's members are also Geronimo ones, and who else would support it better. XMLBeans is incubating and the jar's size is equals to the one of Castor, so unless there're features in XMLBeans that outweighs the ones found in Castor I wouldn't even bother to take a look at XMLBeans. Although, I remember I had some problems with XSD of standard DDs, but did manage to work them out very quickly.
So, hey, Castor's members, wouldn't you mind to comment on the requirements Aaron was kind to write down? Otherwise, I'll have to figure out if Castor does what Aaron is expecting from the tool (and it will certainly take some time).
Cheers, Jacek
