Any plans to do anything to support SDO 2 in eclipse. I wrote a simple plugin for generating SDOs from XSDs, wondering where best to donate it to ? I was planning on doing a couple more, but no-one took up my previous comments on this matter at Tuscany, so can only assume they are not of interest

That would be good - we decided near the end of the IRC chat to have a dependency on Axis2C 0.93 as we weren't sure exactly when 0.94 would be out and we'd like our first RC by the end of this week. Saying that, Sebastien put in a tiny code change which made Tuscany work with the latest

Quick clarification Andy - will you be shifting axis version before Milestone? Or saving it for after? It depends when 0.94 comes out I guess - if it's soon then shifting is probably a good idea (especially with some of the fixes that are planned for 0.94), but I don't think we should

REST is a very generic term, and I think it's more like a resource/ service naming pattern (URL/URI). When we say REST bindings, what are we expecting as the REST Service ? The resource part is really important, but the small interface part is important too, as are the expected behaviours of
