Be that as it may. Lennarts question needs an answer, due to the simple fact, that we can no longer depend on JAXB being available with the JDK. I have to admit, that I didn't follow the JAXB 2 development over the past years, so I am not really uptodate. Please correct me, if I am wrong with the following: - The JAXB RI (which has been part of the JDK) is nowadays maintained on [1]. - I doubt, that there is real development. However, there are forks. which do seem to be somewhat active, for example or [3]. (Just notice, that this is, indeed, Lennarts.) I see nothing, which is pushing out releases? My personal recommendation would be to introduce adapters for launching the binding generator. The respective adapters (and adapter versions) could be locked to a particular version of JAXB-RI, EclipseLink, or whatever else is out in the wild. Users should be able to select a suitable adapter / adapter version, and keep that stable over different versions of the Mojo, thus ensuring stable builds. Questions: Do we still depend on the presence of an external xjc, or can we have the RI embedded? Same question for EclipseLink?
