Adinarayana Sakala: Project CeltiXfire is a SOA infrastructure framework focused on implementation of JCP and web service standards while also providing extensibility for legacy integration. It is a merge of two matured open source projects and communities, ObjectWeb Celtix http://celtix.objectweb.org) and Codehaus Xfire (http://xfire.codehaus.org). It will implement the JAX-WS, JAX-WSA, and JSR-181 standards. Core to this is support for web service standards like SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, WS-I BasicProfile, WS-Security, WS-Addressing, WS-RM, and WS-Policy. This project will support several programming models like JAX-WS, JBI (ServiceMix), SCA (Tuscany), and CORBA services (Yoko).
I'm caught by surprise as I was subscribed to the Celtix devel mailing list and I haven't seen any traffic about the merger between Celtix and XFire there. It feels kind of one sided. Then again, everything that the Apache Software Foundation does these days is one-sided.
At any rate, whatever the outcome, I echo the sentiment of maomaode:
(translation) Celtix and XFire will merge to become CeltiXFire. CeltiXFire is such an ugly name to the ear. There is not a shred of innovative flavor to it. Definitely not as nice sounding as JBus. Have some professionalism, won't you?
