Download JAR files tagged by schemas with all dependencies

This generates a schema artifact which contains all of the schemas from xmpp.org's subversion repository. Generating this artifact enables a schema to be referenced by jaxb using the ClassPathCatalogResolver and a catalog file. To refresh the content of this artifact, either remove the src/main/resources directory manually or run a clean build from hudson. This is because maven-scm-plugin is set to checkout only if that directory does not exist so that the remote subversion repository is not hit every time a build is performed.

This part of the project contains the core api, xml schemas for each supported xmpp protocol and the jaxb generated code. Because this section rarely changes (i.e. when a new protocol is added or when an existing protocol is updated by the XMPP Standards Foundation its usually not required to actually build from this directory but allow maven to retrieve the pre-built artifacts instead. Doing this will save you a lot of time as there are over 100 modules within this part of the project.

Responsible for deploying additional artifacts such as schemas and release distributions to MuleForge. Using this plugin ensures consistency of hosted files. Users should use the Mule Maven archetypes to generate POM.xml files for thier project. These POMs will be configured with the standard MuleForge plugins and will comply to the MuleForge rules for build and deployment.

The JAX-SB Generator is a comprehensive framework to facilitate the use of XML in software languages such as Java. This framework intends to provide tools that will allow a developer to easily integrate XML interoperability, bind XML Schemas, and analyze XML Schemas for use with any software. Currently there is only one language and one application that is supported: XML Binding in Java. Next on the agenda is the development of analysis tools for XML Schema Documents. For instance, imagine a tool that will allow you to determine whether an XSD complies to best-practices. This tool will: 1) produce warnings for structures that do not comply to best-practices, 2) tell the developer whether the logical structure can be transformed linearly to a form that complies to best-practices, and 3) to automatically produce an XSD that maintains the logical structure of the original document but now fully complies to best-practices. This is just one of many tools that will be available shortly. In the meantime, check out the binding application.
