[alf-dev] A question regarding Eclipse, Jaxen and what you used instead
|
Hi,
I'm the Eclipse ALF
Project Lead and we have an interest in using Axis2. Axis 2, in turn,
has a dependency on Jaxen, the XML Path walker; in particular, we believe both
Axis 2 1.2 and 1.3 versions can use Jaxen-1.1.1, which is the current
and best documented and attributed version.
All of the CQ's we
collectively have submitted for Jaxen have been rejected by the Eclipse IP team;
the key reason for rejection is an inability to establish that: "Jaxen
asks candidates to confirm that they authored all the code they are
contributing, explicitly grant their consent to release their code as open
source under the BSD license, and that to the best of their knowledge they
possess all the rights to do so".
So
I would be interested in learning:
1.
Whether you contacted the Jaxen team (or Bob McWhirter, James Strachan, and
the Werken company, ...) or otherwise attempted to resolve the IP issue?
If so,
what did you learn?
2.
Have you found a suitable replacement for Jaxen?
If so, what is it and what changes were required in your
code that used XPath processing?
3.
Given Eclipse's adoption of runtime environments (SOA in particular), do any of
your projects anticipate using Axis2?
If so, what are you planning to do about the dependency on
Jaxen?
I've
made some initial inquiries and I'm planning on pursuing this further with
Apache and the Jaxen team. I would be interested in learning what you have
found, knowing whether you are still interested in Jaxen, and whether you have
found a replacement XPath processor. Le me know your level of
interest and I'll be happy to share whatever we find.
Thanks
in advance,
Brian
