I think the technology is simply not that easy. You need good knowledge of the
JAXB/JAXB RI internals, good knowledge of target ORM technology internals, stuff
like Maven plugin development and so on. In combination. Apart from that
marketing/promotion just to attract people to use it. Apart from that user support.
Recently, Kostis Anagnostopoulos was a very good help with jaxbcommons and
hyperjaxb2. He has a much better knowledge of Maven2 and this enabled us to make
hyperjaxb2 mavenized. Since version 0.5.2 there's a maven-hyperjax2-plugin, an
out-of-the-box solution for mapping generation.
He also helped to clean up the builds, they are now pretty neat.

This is a nice idea. I'll see what I can do.
Bye.
