Thanks, Martin. At the moment I only have problem with dtd-parser - I
have developer roles on other projects.

Yes, practically this would work. I used to depend on
com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-xjc in previous versions. For about a year ago
I've switched to a "modular" jaxb-xjc:
http://download.java.net/maven/2/org/jvnet/jaxb2_commons/jaxb2-basics-jaxb-xjc/2.1.13.MR1/jaxb2-basics-jaxb-xjc-2.1.13.MR1.pom
This "modular" jaxb-xjc is basically an "unrebundled" jaxb-xjc:
dependencies like XSOM, codemodel and so on are taken out of the main
JAR and made Maven dependencies. This allows me to update dependencies
of XJC: for instance if I need to correct a bug in Codemodel, I can do
it and depend on a newer version.
But whatever my reasons are, I think it's good to straigten the Maven
poms and share these artifacts via the central repo.
Bye.
