It would really mean a lot to me if you can publish instructions to how
to retrotranslate JAXB 2.0 to run with JDK 1.4.
There are things I can't talk about without making a lot of people
upset, and this is one of those. Hearing what people do, there seem to
be a lot of people who'd benefit this. It's not that I don't know how to
do it (I even made some changes to the RI so that it works.) It's just
that I can't talk about it publicly.
But I think you can talk about it, right?

OK. I understand. As I said, I was just asking.
