Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Basically you just explained me diplomatically that my changes will never
be integrated unless I pay Oracle for commercial support. How open-source
that is?

For this you have bunch of unit tests, integration tests and performance
tests, don't you? If you don't you have a problem but it's not caused by my
patches.
I wanted to avoid forking and to contribute with some nice features to JAXB
RI but I'm leaving the counter disappointed. I would rather hear that my
requests are bullshit and not necessary, rather than you don't have time to
integrate them.
Have a nice weekend,
Przemyslaw
