So Oracle is removing JAXB from Java SE, Depricated in v9, to be removed in v11. I think we are stuck with XMLBeans for a while anyway. POI can sponsor XMLBeans which can then be put into incubation. At that point we can make updates. At some point XMLBeans emerges from incubation to be either a sub-project of POI, or it's own TLP. That need not be a big issue. We just need to keep it from being terminated. It isn't bad to be in Incubation. NetBeans is in Incubation. It will just stay there until we figure out how to manage it. If we take it over, we already have a community. The important part is to get it to a point where we can make updates to it. I think just making a fork for us, and giving it a new namespace could cause problems down the road with other projects that use POI and XMLBeans.
