I also agree that it makes a lot of sense to leverage current Celtix tooling implementation and to do any refactoring only for meeting new requirements. These tools are fundamental to application users and IONA has spent tremendous effort in the past year to maintain and tune the Celtix tools, making sure that it passes all kinds of complex WSDL and Schema, including many issues reported by Celtix users.
