Rick, I've noticed two issues with saaj & annotation specs.
1) The etc/config.properties exposes javax.xml.soap with version 1.3 through the system bundle. That's the same package & version as geronimo-saaj_1.3_spec which means the geronimo saaj spec is not really being used at runtime. So I think we should remove that package from exports from the system bundle. 2) The etc/config.properties also exposes javax.annotation*;version=1.0 and Geronimo provides geronimo_annotation_1.1_spec. That's ok but I'm still seeing some bundles getting wired to the annotation packages from the system bundle which causes problems. So can those packages be also removed from the system bundle? Jarek
