Why is the legacy ODDR java client still in our repo?

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/devicemap/trunk/devicemap/java/simpleddr/


Do we plan on supporting it? If so, who will support it? Did I not rewrite the 
client last year because of all of the issues this legacy client has.

Do you (we) plan on re-releasing the legacy ODDR client as well? That would 
mean we now have 2 java clients...

Also, you checked in the w3c jar here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/devicemap/trunk/devicemap/java/simpleddr/lib/


Once again, what is the point of trying to bring this old client back from the 
dead? I will investigate what is needed to get w3c compatibility into the new 
client. Checking this old client into our repo with the w3c jar is likely not 
needed...

We don't rely on the W3C JAR to be on Maven repo. The only slight inconvenience 
(though the "addjars-maven-plugin" explains well, how this could be done on a 
POM level for multiple modules, have not tried that one yet) could be having to 
keep the tiny W3C JAR both in "Client" and "SimpleDDR", but the issue of using 
the JAR in its binary form (that's how W3C provides it) is solved

If you can explore how W3C or any of the old WG members could still put that to 
MavenCentral, more than just the DeviceMap project would welcome (otherwise the 
guy who put it to GitHub would never have bothered) but it is not a showstopper 
for 1.0.
