Hi, I'm running into issue 585
(https://jaxb.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=585) with 2.1.11 and
thought I would try to build jaxp from the source tree with the fix.
I first tried the workspace snapshot zip bundle (linked from
https://jaxb.dev.java.net/2.2-ea/), but ant-dist fails with

compile:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /Users/eaubin/Downloads/jaxb-ri/runtime/build/classes
    [javac] Compiling 404 source files to
/Users/eaubin/Downloads/jaxb-ri/runtime/build/classes
    [javac] /Users/eaubin/Downloads/jaxb-ri/runtime/src/com/sun/xml/bind/v2/model/impl/ReferencePropertyInfoImpl.java:294:
cannot find symbol
    [javac] symbol : method required()
    [javac] location: @interface javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementRef
    [javac] return ref.required();
    [javac] ^

Anyway, it turns out that the early access code doesn't have the fix
which was added mid February and rolled back at the end of April. I
could build from cvs. https://jaxb2-sources.dev.java.net/ says to use
cvs.dev.java.net, but domain doesn't resolve. Is this the right
domain? Is there any workaround for the issue? Thanks - Ethan
