This is not a good argument, at least for me. We are using lots of
components, like mail implementation from Geronimo project. But are they on
Geronimo commons? Aren't we accessing them, even when they are within
Geronimo? Is it a must to have them separate?

So whats the problem of moving Axiom, Neethi also in to Axis2 project. As
one said, a change in Axiom might most probably affect Axis2 as well.

There are two more reasons I have *for* moving Axiom also in to Axis2
project *if* Axis2 becomes a TLP.

1. Axiom has a SOAP implementation which was done because of Axis2. If one
needs to leave Axiom inside WS, during this movement, then some one please
move the SOAP part out of Axiom. If the argument is Axiom is a pure XML
object model so that others can use it, then please move out the SOAP part
from Axiom.
Please note that I'm not saying anything bad about Axiom having a SOAP
implementation. We did it because we targeted Axiom for Axis2.

2.  In another thread, it was suggested to make POLOKA a sub-project of
Axis2, because
 i) it *will* have Axis2 compatible eventing implementation
ii) and (may be) it is Web service based implementation. (please correct me
if I'm wrong)

If the argument for leaving some projects within WS project, and taking with
Axis2 is about Axis2 dependencies, then why should we move Poloka (when it
is graduated) in to Axis2. Its just another project, which has a *plugin*
(as I think) to work with Axis2.
if this is the case, then I will argue that Synapse also should come under
Axis2. Abdera should come in to Axiom.

I am seriously missing something somewhere.

Thanks,
Chinthaka
