You do realize that sourceforge is not very reliable at archiving its mailing lists:

Parts of your discussion are missing...

Is this just a case of refactoring package names?

In JBoss4 I can see both package names but the org.jboss.xb stuff is more complete
with some duplication across the packages.

I'm going to see whether I can create a compatibility layer for now
by making org.jboss.xb classes that extend org.jboss.xml.binding in head.

I'm only going to do enough to get the MC tests working in jboss4.

This is just a temporary solution such that I can get my stuff backported.

I'm going to see whether I can create a compatibility layer for now
by making org.jboss.xb classes that extend org.jboss.xml.binding in head.

This can't work because the object types created internally are still in the
org.jboss.xml package. It will compile, but it gets ClassCastExceptions
when I try to downcast at runtime.

I'll try to refactor it (and figure out where the package names are referenced in xml, xsd, etc)
and if that fails, I'll just do a copy.

Another issue is whether the system properties in Marshaller should be
org.jboss.xml or org.jboss.xb

I'm going to leave them in org.jboss.xml to be compatible with JBoss4,
but we should probably accept both?

I would doubt there is much usage of thie api (maybe by only you), but checking for both properties is not a big deal.
