Fellow developers, I have recreated the proposed release artifacts for Xml Schema release 1.4.4. You can find them in http://people.apache.org/~bimargulies/maven_staging/.
The 'fixed' list is now: WSCOMMONS-436 SchemaBuilder returns a null XmlSchemaAppInfo when appinfo element without source attribute. WSCOMMONS-378 SchemaBuilder::handleSimpleType() doesn't call processExtensibilityComponents() for facets I would be most grateful for some votes in the next 72 hours. Here is my nonbinding +1. Respectfully submitted, Your Xml Schema 1.4.4 release manager, benson
