Announce: JaxMe 2-0.01-alpha

[Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>]

Hi,

I'd like to announce the first public release of JaxMe 2, a
(very) incomplete implementation of the JAXB specification.
(See http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb for details on JAXB.)
Compared to JAXB, in particular the following is missing:

- External schema bindings
- xs:group, xs:any
- Recursion
- Code stability and maturity

Why should one use JaxMe 2 and not the reference implementation?
There are at least three possible reasons:

- It is open source. A source code generator can become incredibly
  useful, if you can adapt it to your particular requirements.
- It is dedicated to customization. See 
  http://jaxme.sourceforge.net/JaxMe2/docs/Customizing.html
  for some examples.
- It will soon include a persistence layer with on object relational
  mapping, in the style of JaxMe 1. See http://jaxme.sf.net/docs/RDBMS.html
  for details. It will also soon include an EJB generator in the style of
  JaxMe 1. See http://jaxme.sf.net/docs/BeanWriter.html for details.

This is an alpha release, with the intention to get feedback. See
http://sf.net/projects/jaxme for downloads and more information.


Regards,

Jochen
