(it's the jar that has an interesting name, not the classes. sorry for being a bit unclear.) AIUI the sun license (for the JAXB specification) allows the creation of API implementations (in the javax.xxx package space) from the specification providing that they are pure (no extensions) and compliant, clean room implementations of the specification. what isn't allowed are works derived from the JAXB standard implementation (used to be called the reference implementation). (IIRC the tomcat did something similar for one of the earlier servlet specifications.) - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commons-dev-unsubscribe@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commons-dev-help@jakarta.apache.org
