Hi,

I'm on the route to package HBase, the hadoop database for Debian. One hbase
contrib (stargate[1]) uses jersey[2], which in turn uses jaxb. So since
neither jersey nor jaxb are in Debian yet, I've to package those too.
However I'm quite confused, since I read references, that jaxb is supposed to
be included in Java6[3].
I can find a namespace com.sun.xml.internal.bind in rt.jar of openjdk6, but
jersey needs com.sun.xml.bind.v2. So what can I do? May I use the "internal"
classes and patch jersey to refer to them? Do I still need to package jaxb?
Where can I get a source tarball of jaxb from?

Thanks for any help,
