I want to use the library for create, modify, and content check of openXML Word docs (i want to use JAVA). I have downloaded the binary and the source and use some examples that i find in the web. (for instance: http://openxmldeveloper.org/articles/OpenXMLandJava.aspx\) .. but much of these examples use the WordDocument and OpenXMLDocument deprecated classes.
I don´t understand why these classes are deprecated. Will, the next release, have new classes for the WordDocument and OpenXMLDocument? When will be ready the next release? ... in which direction is going this project? ... are there other OpenSource projects for access OpenXML files? What do you recommend me, use the deprecated classes or not?
thanks,
Simon

These classes are deprecated because we want to provide the OPC layer before implementing the other part of the project (Common, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) with a general architecture for the part, the element. The first version - prototype - was making by a member of this project for its own purposes but don't follow the architecture we want to put in place. Like lots of open source project, we need contributors to provide this project to the community, and right now we haven't so much guys involved in this project to make this project as fast as we want.
This project is open source, if you want to use the deprecated classes because you really need it, this is fine, but you'll have to make the further modification by yourself. This is a risk, but it depends of your work. Even if it's something I don't recommand to you.

As for other projects, Apache's POI is building a strongly typed object model on top of OpenXML4J, and docx4j has done the same thing for the WordML component.
