I've used Axis 1, Axis 2 and XFire in the past; each with varying
levels of success but I have most often and most recently chosen XFire
(moving to CXF) because of its ease of use, how it gets out of the way
(unlike Axis 2) and performance (over Axis 1).  I think each has an
Eclipse plugin that can help you get going with consuming or
publishing a web server.

I concur.  You'll probably want to stay away from Axis (both versions).  The original XFire is good, and although I haven't used Enunciate, it looks really clean and simple.  But since Spring is definitely my core framework of choice, and CXF uses Spring under the hood, and CXF is like next-generation XFire with more features and maybe more development support behind it, I'd go with CXF if starting a new project.

Regards,

Les

Subject: Open Source Java 6 Developer Preview Release

Howdy everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the first Developer Preview release of the
open-source port of Java 6 to Mac OS X (Intel).

While I've spent some time testing this release with my own projects,
this preview release should be considered early-beta quality.
The project is very much in need of additional community testing -- If
you're hankering for Java 6, please give this a try!

The full announcement, as well as download and build instructions, are
available here:

Cheers all!
Landon Fuller

I think it's great to see projects like this, although I wonder how long it will be before companies feel comfortable running their mission-critical apps on an open-source JDK project.  Any thoughts?

In the short term, perhaps projects like this will pressure Apple to hurry up and put out their official JDK 6.

Oh man... Thank you SO much for forwarding this on.  I've been waiting forever for something like this...  I hate not being able to utilize an almost a _year old_ JDK on my Mac.  Apple bastards...

I'm not bitter or anything...

Huge props to Sun for open sourcing their JDK and allowing projects like this to succeed and cater to people like me :)
