[Rails-devel] XML library (was: Restructured directory layout for Rails 2.0)

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

If move up to Java 6 it is possible to use JAXB 2.0 shipped with the JDK 
instead of the external Simple XML. Seems that it is not much more 
difficult to use. If I am not mistaken JAXB 1.x was not that nice.

(Some easy examples discussed here 
http://blog.bdoughan.com/2010/10/how-does-jaxb-compare-to-simple.html)

Any opinions on that?
