it will take a lot of energy. the time factor depends on the number of developers willing to lend a hand. my energy for jaxme's pretty low these days (and it's never been particularly high): i've just got too many other projects requiring attention. i'm happy to lend a hand where i can with matter i know about (for example, mavenisation) but (realistically) that's about it. i will try to squeeze some time in to finish that tutorial i've been writing for ever. if there are developers with energy out there who are willing to step up and learn the code then JAXB compliance is a realistic goal. i'm sure all the current committers are ready and willing to offer all the assistance they can to anyone who steps up. any takers? - robert
