You are right, we can not introduce a GPL dependency into an Apache
project. Especially if we need to redistribute the JAR under GPL in
order to allow the application to run.
There is a related discussion at the link below. The reporter seems to
rely on GPL / CDDL dual license. Do the Maven dependencies required for
JAXB support have such dual license?

But the replacement of JAXB by SimpleXML would be only on the Android
branch, isn't it? If so, how SimpleXML compares with the XML API
provided natively on the Android SDK (e.g. their org.xmlpull package)?
