Sounds great. Not trying to force you to do something you don't want to do, but just thought I'd mention it since it occurred to me.
I don't currently use Jaxb but if/when I do in the future, it might be nice to know that I'd have to option of jdk4 if I needed to use it. ;-) And that's how open source software like Maven works best, with users contributing patches to add functionality the developers have not yet needed/seen as important...
