All of our changes (at this point) are to push JAX-WS towards CTS compliance. The changes outside of jaxws and metadata modules are (IMHO) minor changes and bug fixes. We are not changing APIS. We would like to get all of this work into RC2...but we don't want to hold up RC2 for our changes. Having a branch when RC2 is cut is only necessary so that we can continue work and have these fixes for the 7/20 (per Matt's note). > > Yes/no/maybe? > > Thanks, > --Glen > > * or modified versions as a result of conversation/consensus. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
