[wildfly-dev] Patching WSDL4J (or perhaps forking?)

[Alessio Soldano]

Hi Anil,
all clear in theory of course ;-) but ... is the project really active 
(it's the JSR110 RI after all) ? the discussion mailing list archive 
shows 0 messages, nothing relevant on the wiki, a release (1.6.3) six 
months ago and no change after that (also note that 1.6.2 was released 
back in 2006).
Perhaps I could try raising another bug on sourceforge (even if the 
patch proposal is already there) and see if anybody notices it. Failing 
that, I'll simply fork it on github and cut a -jbossorg release, but I 
wanted others' opinions too ;-)

Cheers
Alessio
