Hi Glen, the www.xsume.com (www.xsume.org) is not a retailer :-). XSume was=
 a place (seems that the website is down?) that holds several java packagin=
g and CPI (Continuous Product Integration) tools, which were written by som=
e IONA and ex-IONA employees. XSume Toolspec is a java utility that parses =
and validates command line input based on a XML-format file - tool specific=
ation. An example of tool specification can be found from trunk\tools\javat=
o\core\src\main\java\org\apache\cxf\tools\java2wsdl\java2wsdl.xml. I am sur=
e you will appreciate how much XSume Toolspec can help you out from tedious=
 and frangible java codes like "if args[0].equals("-wsdl") then wsdlLocatio=
n =3D args[1]; ". This toolspec stuff also supports regular expression, thi=
s way you can easily add one line into your XML tool spec file to make your=
 -wsdl option for example, only accepts certain characters. XSume Toolspec =
was open-sourced to CXF back to one or two years ago.  Technically it would=
 be no problem to replace XSume namespace with some Apache namespaces as th=
is tool spec stuff is self-contained all codes are located in CXF and has n=
o dependency on xsume.com. But on the other hand, using xsume namespace wou=
ld be a good way to remember contributions have been made by this small but=
 powerful tool, otherwise how we can get people like you start asking?  :-)=20

Cheers,
Jervis

When doing a search on "www.xsume.com" from the trunk directory of CXF,
it is showing up in approximately 25 places--mostly used in namespaces
for the xml files related to the build tools.  But this URL just points
to some online retailer, I don't see its relation to CXF.=20

For example, in trunk/tools/java2/.../java2wsdl.xml:

<toolspec xmlns:xsi=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:xhtml=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict"
        xsi:schemaLocation=3D"http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification
http://www.xsume.com/schema/xutil/tool-specification.xsd"
        xmlns=3D"http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification"
        xmlns:ts=3D"http://www.xsume.com/Xutil/ToolSpecification">


Googling isn't showing anyone else using this namespace.  Should we be
switching this URL to an Apache one (I think so)?

Thanks,
Glen
