Speaking of JXPath and OJB integration... one thing that has been brought up a couple times is an XPath style query engine for OJB. I would love to see this happen, and the process of doing it for OJB 1.1 will help to make sure that the OTM API is as flexible as we want^H^H^H^H need it to be for implementing other things on top of it.

Unfortunately, I don't think any of us have really strong (implementation level) XPath expertise... any JXPath'ers interested in helping with some O/R stuff?

Do you think that moving JXPath to another location will increase visibility/community? I don't think so.

It will be just another menu item like ORO, Regexp, BCEL, ...

There are better ways to attact more users IMHO, doing more announcements (milestone/final releases), provide examples of integration possibilities with other apache projects (struts,velocity,OJB,cocoon,...) and cross-link. Also the apache newsletter should be used to promote your fine component to an even larger audience.

I am in favor of promoting my favorite project to a more visible level (of
course!). JXPath has some dependencies on commons, but I don't think the
rest of commons has dependencies on JXPath. However, that would need to be
validated - we don't want to create a circular dependency there.
JXPath users have been asking for a new release for quite some time. If we
get concensus on this promotion, I will be happy to do the actual work
(moving files, renaming code its) as part of this new release.
My only concern is proper deprecation of APIs: will we have to leave some
version of JXPath in commons for some time for compatibility reasons, or
would archived code/binaries suffice?
