XMLBeans Project Reboot Proposal - Volunteers Needed

2013-10-24 Thread Nick Burch
Hi All As many of you will know, the Apache XMLBeans project is currently destined for the Apache Attic, in large part because the previous PMC [1] (Project Management Committee) is no longer around to provide the required levels of oversight of the project. It looks like there are still plen

Hi All Is there still interest in rebooting the XMLBeans project? If so, I think we have enough existing Apache PMC members to mentor the rebooted project. I'm happy to start the ball rolling on the proposal if there's still the interest? Nick PS The steps would be that I'd setup the propos

Hi All Within Apache POI, we're using xmlbeans to compile the Microsoft xsds for the OOXML file format to something usable. We produce two jars of the compiled XSDs, one with the full set, and one with just the key classes and .xsb files. This seemed to have been working fine, but we've found

Hi All I have another issue for apache poi, from our nicely generated beans from the ooxml xsd. We have one particular bean which can have a number of children, including text, hyperlinks and comments. The bean offers to give us an ordered list of all the text, an ordered list of hyperlinks etc. T

Hi All We're experimenting with using xmlbeans for Apache POI, to help with the processing of ooxml files. To do this, we've used xmlbeans to generate classes from the xsd schema files. The snag we're finding is due to an ooxml "file" actually being made up of several different, interlinked
