Hi,
I am in the process of moving axis2 util and axis2 om into separate 
projects.
Once this is done we need to give options.

configure --with-axis2-om=<axis2c om path> --with-axis2-util=<axis2c 
util path>
to build Axis C.

It seems that as we are separating the Axis2 C sub projects, Axis2 C 
main build
is increasingly dependant on other projects. I would like to ask your 
opnions
on how we handle this situation on Axis2 C releases.

It is good if we could configure Maven to resolve dependancies and download.

Other option is we pack the all dependant projects nicely with Axis2 C. 
In this case
we just pack compulsory projects only. For example axis2c_om and 
axis2c_util are
compulsory dependancies. But Apache and Apache2 are optional so we don't 
pack them.

Thanks
Damitha

+1.
Also could we please have --with-axiom in place of --with-axis2-om?

We can learn from how the Java folks are doing it. They have the std bin 
release. We can have something similar.
I would prefer packaging over using maven to download.

Also, we got to decide where to move the current sources, as we separate 
the sources and structuring them.

I propose we move whole of xml folder as axiom.
Also let woden and xml_schema be separate source trees.

Thanks,
Samisa...
