Axis1 does have the "generic" WSDL2 classes and the more specific Java ones, 
and was in fact designed with exactly the same idea (generating stubs/skels 
for multiple languages).  I would prefer something like "WSDLCodeGenerator" 
or "WSDL2Code" over "WSDL2WS", just because I think it'd be easier to 
understand.
