Is scalaxb actively maintained?

[Adam Mackler]

I'm just wondering because I tried to follow the example on the running scalaxb page and got all kinds of warnings when compiling.  Scala 2.9.2 gave me three deprecation warnings, and 2.10.0, the current stable version, gave me seven deprecation warnings, four unchecked warnings, and six feature warnings.  And that's just the basic example from the website.

Obviously this makes me quite nervous about beginning any development using this library.  Though I am curious enough about why the library seems to be so far behind the current state of the Scala language to ask.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong when compiling, or something?

Thanks,

Hi Adam,

scalaxb is not dead (yet). It's not as actively developed as I'd it like to be, but it is maintained.

You can check out github commits: https://github.com/eed3si9n/scalaxb/commits/master (last commit 9 days ago)

Or the website, which should show that 1.0.0 came out around a month ago.

Also most of the recently submitted issues have been addressed: https://github.com/eed3si9n/scalaxb/issues?page=1&state=closed

The reason for bunch of deprecation warning is because I kept Scala 2.8.x source compatibility for scalaxb 1.0.0.

Due to the nature of the program, I figured many of the users are enterprise corporate devs.

I thought should keep backward compatibility for two major versions of Scala: 2.8 and 2.9 (2.10 came out only recently).

Since Scala 2.10 came out, I'd probably drop the 2.8 support soon, but I am not sure if I'd do that for 1.1 or wait till 2.0.

Thanks for this post Eugene,

I just started using Scalaxb and was similarly worried by the number of warnings in the generated source.

Other than that, though, it has been an extremely pleasant experience - which one doesn't often get to say about SOAP.
