I'm not a jibx developer, just another user like you. The support here is almost nill. I posted 2 questions, none of them was answered. The question was about Jibx's XML validation, which a knowledgeable dveloper should be able to answer without much research (i.e quick answer). I am also begining to question the wisdom of using this tool. It's touted as open source, so I don't expect much hand holding, but basic questions about the product should be answered. Otherwise, it is not ready for prime time (under an open source label).
