It's a problem due to the licensing on a couple of the sun jars that are required by the tooling and binding things. Basically, a couple of the Sun jar could not be uploaded to ibiblio due to the license they were under, but they COULD be included in a full distribution. The celtix distribution does that. Thus, the build downloads the full celtix distribution and then extracts the required jars from there. That all said, with the migration from Celtix to CXF, some of that will change. Newer versions of some of the jars are now available on sun's java.net repository and maven can grab them directly from there. There are just two jars left that we're trying to figure out what to do with: jsr181.jar and jsr250.jar We've contributed a cleanroom version of 181 to geronimo specs [1]. They just haven't built it and deployed it anywhere yet. Geronimo specs also has the 250 stuff [2], but also not build/deployed anywhere. When the Geronimo folks get those deployed, the CXF team will happily switch over to those which could then completely remove the "sun jars" issue. Enjoy! -- J.
