Indeed! I'm leaving for a 2-week trip to Barcelona (my summer
vacations), and when i come back, i want to participate into the whole
hyperjaxb3 effort.
Also, in a more technical aspect, there are rumors in the company i
work that in October we will start upgrading from weblogic server 8.1
to 9.1, so at last, it won't be necessary to retrotranslate
everything (remember Koshuke you had asked me to try jaxb-2.x ? now
you see one reason i was a bit reluctant)

I think i have to agree with Aleksei, that it is not worth the effort
to combine the 2 plugins, for their code is simple enough. If we
combined them, it would be the dependencies that will be a major
problem (maven does not support yet virtual dependency sets).
Documentation would also be a burden.
Finally, i want to thank Aleksei for Hyperjaxb2 project. I think it
is a pragmatic alternative pattern to using Entity-EJBs. My wishes to
succeed with Hyperjaxb3.
