24 September 2003 - XMLBeans Is Now Under Incubation in XML.APACHE.ORG

XMLBeans is an XML-Java binding tool that uses XML Schema as a basis for generating Java classes to be used to easily access XML instance data. It was designed to provide both easy access to XML information via convenient Java classes as well as complete access to the underlying XML, combining the best of low-level, full access APIs like SAX and DOM with the convenience of Java binding.

The Apache Incubator provides an entry path to the Apache Software Foundation. XMLBean has been accepted and is starting to make it's first steps along this path with the Apache XML Project as the eventual destination. The source has now been entered into ASF repositories and the mailing lists are open for debate. More details can be found on the XML Beans web site.
