GlassFish JAXB and rebundling

Hello,

I am currently trying to cleanup the GlassFish JAXB package and I found
something that would like to discuss with you. The build process of this
package ends by adding to the jaxb-xjc.jar file the contents of other
jar files like codemodel.jar, istack-commons-tools.jar, etc. In Fedora
those jars are in other packages. I think that this is not correct:
whoever wants to use jaxb-xjc.jar should instead add to the classpath
the other .jar files. What do you think?

Regards,
Juan Hernandez

Correct.  They should not be added to the jaxb-xjc.jar.

However these dependencies should be added in the installed pom file(s)
so that they are added to classpath automatically during maven builds of other
packages.
