[JBoss-dev] Re: Library dependencies/updates for jboss-4.0.5.GA

[Scott M Stark]

jaxb is used by the jbossws stack. Another issue that has been around 
for a while is obfuscating the dom4j classes to avoid these leaking into 
the user space. The dom4j subset we included in 4.0.4 broke use of xpath 
from dom4j since it has an explicit dependency on jaxen. I'm doing some 
testing with jarjar to create an org.jboss.dom4j package namespace version.
