Christian Schneider updated CXF-4069:
-------------------------------------

      Component/s:     (was: JAXB Databinding)
                   Tooling
      Description: 
When using JAX-WS/JAXB it makes sense to use a custom binding config to create 
e.g. Date instead of XMLGregorianCalendar. These binding configs need type 
adapters. CXF provides such
an adapter in the tools common project. I think this is not the right place as 
it forces people to depend on the tools common project when the only thing they 
need is the adapter. This
is especially severe in OSGi where you might want to generate your stub code in 
its own project. Ideally this project should have no dependency to cxf at all.

Additionally there is the project that the optimized dependencies for cxf 2.6.0 
do not have the tools common on the classpath. So the user would have to change 
thei project anyway.

So I propose to create a new project to host just the adapters. This allows 
people to only depend on this little project with no other dependencies. 

We additionally should move 
rt/databinding/jaxb/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxb/JAXBToStringStyle.java   
and 
rt/databinding/jaxb/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxb/JAXBToStringBuilder.java 
there too.
