Hi Chris, thanks for the laud and also for your comment. We have discussed about the same issue some time ago and have come to a similar conclusion. Beside fixing bugs and adding new features we are refactoring Castor to split it into independed modules. Castor will still be one project but it will consist of a number of different modules that are distributed in separate jar's. The modules propably will not have indipendend releases. As far as we know at the moment we'll create following modules:
core jpa (database part called JDO at the moment) xml srcgen In addition we defined JPA (EJB 3.0) compatibility as target for database part and support for JAXB 2.0 on the XML side. I hope this goes into the direction you thought of Ralf ELVART, CHRISTOPHER (SBCSI) schrieb: > I have been using Castor XML for a while now and think it's great.
