Hi Marshall,I tried to remove jsr173 dependency from SimpleServer and DictionaryAnnotator and used Xmlbeans 2.4.0 version. Tests and packaging behave properly (/lib directory had not been removed in SimpleServer since I was waiting for the issue to be closed, but it should be deleted as soon as "Maven way" is definitely chosen).
StAX ( http://stax.codehaus.org/Home ) is under Apache License 2.0 so it's ok from the licensing point of view, we should only investigate if we "like" this JSR173 specification implementation or we would like to choose another one. In my opinion it is ok (no more dependencies needed).
