The xml-axis project is a restructuring of xml-soap. This restructuring
was initiated with the expressed intent of providing a foundation for
supporting multiple protocols, including, XML-RPC. To date, however, we
have been unsuccessful in getting anyone interested enough to work on
supporting the XML-RPC protocol.
This being said, I don't want to pre-judge the result as to whether or not
the current Axis code base is a good fit; it might very well be appropriate
that these two projects belong side by side. Don't get me wrong, my clear
preference is for the former, but if the latter is meant to be, then so be
it. But side by side, not pitting one PMC against another within Apache
land.
Additionally, the Jakarta project is a bit on the large side, so I am
concerned about growth - that in itself is not a showstopper, but is a
concern and if there is at least an equally good fit in xml, then that is a
better home. Also note that the XML PMC has taken a different path, there
is not a mapping of PMC members to subprojects; this being said, if the
right home for XML-RPC is in xml.apache, then I will promise to watch over
it (I am a PMC member there).
I also noted that a number of other Jakarta PMC members expressed similar
concerns, presumably without my prompting.

P.S. A quick peek at the code base - no Ant, yet another XML parser
(non-JAXP, non-Apache). Not insurmountable, but it would be nice to be
fixed...
