No.  It's the reference implementation for JSR-67:

It's based on Xerces2 and Xalan2 (and therefore uses xml-common).

I don't know.  This is the RI for http://www.jcp.org/jsr/detail/93.jsp

Axis is in the same general area of endeavor, and my understanding is that
they are working towards compliance with the same spec:

The RI for this is actually being created at Apache, in the Taglibs
project.

Yep.  Nearly all the internal components are built with Ant as well (so
backwards compatibility of Ant scripts is important to me :-).

Implements a UDDI-based registry server.  JAXR is the client API to talk
to it, but can also talk to any other UDDI registry.

Yep, from the HEAD branch.

At the present time, the RIs for JAXM, JAXR, JAXRPC, and the registry
server are not open source.
