Robert Lazarski resolved AXIS2-6106.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Remove unmaintained XMPP transport module
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS2-6106
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-6106
> Project: Axis2
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Robert Lazarski
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.1
>
>
> The XMPP transport module (axis2-transport-xmpp) depends on
> jivesoftware:smack and jivesoftware:smackx — artifacts that have not been
> updated since approximately 2008. The modern Smack library is under
> org.igniterealtime.smack (Smack 4.x) with a completely incompatible API.
> This module cannot function against any current XMPP server without a full
> rewrite. Unlike the CORBA module (which has at least one known active user),
> there are no known users of the XMPP transport.
> The XMPP transport was designed for an era when XMPP was considered a
> potential web services transport protocol. That use case never materialized —
> XMPP is used for chat federation and IoT messaging, not for invoking web
> services.
> Scope:
> - Remove modules/transport/xmpp
> - Remove XMPP references from parent POM module list
> - Remove from distribution/assembly descriptors if referenced
