Yes, there's at least one active person on the domain of J2EE module
parsing/reading/merging. You should really join the Cargo dev mailing list
and ask your question/post ideas there.

See http://cargo.codehaus.org.

The part that interest you for the xml merging:

"A Java API to parse/create J2EE Modules"

This is what we call the "Cargo Module API" (module as in J2EE module). It
lives in org.codehaus.cargo.module package (in trunk/core/api/module/
directory if you check out the cargo sources).

Very cool. We have a page explaining how to contribute to the Cargo project:

http://cargo.codehaus.org/Contributing.

To get started the best is to:
- subscribe to the Cargo dev mailing (see
http://archive.codehaus.org/cargo/)
- read the web site to better understand what cargo is about
- ask questions and suggest ideas on the cargo dev mailing list
- see if there are existing open issues that you could take up. See
http://tinyurl.com/9wo3p.

Thanks. See you on the cargo dev list!
-Vincent
