Robert Liguori updated CXF-3039:
--------------------------------
Description:
Consider the SXC Reference on the CXF JAXB page (
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jaxb.html ):
Speedy alternative to the JAXB Reference Implementation
If you are looking for a performance boost inside your application, you may
want to examine SXC, which accelerates the JAXB runtime.
The link to SXC is to here: http://sxc.codehaus.org/. When going to this URL,
you see this, "There is currently no description associated with this project."
Exploring further, there are no developers on the SXC team, based on
documentation (http://sxc.codehaus.org/team-list.html). Also, the last
download is from 2007 (http://sxc.codehaus.org/Download). Most important
though, it did not pass the TCK (http://sxc.codehaus.org/JAXB).
As such, it looks like this project is no longer supported. Is it safe to
reference an abandoned project? I would advice removing the link or
encouraging the SXC folks to reopen the project for at least, basic maintenance
purposes.
If you refer someone to use SXC, they integrate it, find a problem using it,
then can't get it fixed... that's not cool.
>>> Or... keep the reference, but put in a note on the state of the project...
>>> querying the SXC project owner (if they are reachable) would be the best
>>> path to get a clear picture of where the project is.
Thanks.
