OK, so that doesn't solve the distribution of namespace.jar then which is one or two interfaces just like was jaxp.jar... or do I misunderstand ?
these ship as part of the jaxmeapi. (again, these classes are clean room implementations from the relevant specifications.) so it's just one jar :)
OK, I've finally downloaded and everything.
Well, there seems to be the same magic between jaxbapi and xml-apis... namely, Apache licensed javax packages... I have no real problem with this but I remember explicitly reading just about everywhere in JDK licenses that I was not allowed to write things in packages java or javax...
So Apache foundation maybe never did download JDK so does it for me and everyone is happy (I am, with such a license!), correct ?
that's the general idea.
the specification download grants a limited license to implement the specification (including classes with the javax package space) from the specification but it's easy and safer for an organization like apache to do this than an individual. dims (as web services chair) has access to legal resources and experience of clean room implementations.
