If we are going to take on maintenance of XMLBeans, I would suggest that getting it out of the attic would be the most appropriate course of action. This would reduce confusion for people trying to find XML Beans as there would only be a single project to reference rather than one in the attic and another in the POI project.

(XMLBeans hardly ever, except when we find bugs) All that would happen is that we'd swap the group ID, add POI to the release names, and update the readme etc to refer to POI as the PMC providing the oversight So, assuming we're releasing it as POI rather than getting it out of the attic: * Copy xmlbeans trunk in svn to https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/xmlbeans/trunk * Merge in the fixes * Update the bin/src packages to have poi in them, eg xmlbeans-poi-2.6.5-bin.zip * Update the poms to be under org.apache.poi rather than xmlbeans * Test, vote, release! Or, if we want to take xmlbeans out of the attic, we'd do: * Vote to take it on * Wait for attic PMC to confirm * Get infra to unlock svn for xmlbeans * Merge in fixes * Test, vote, release!
