What would it take to create a 2.0.1 release?
There has not been a new release of WSIF for 3 years. Can't we get one
based on latest source?
The nightly build link doesn't go to WSIF nightly builds. The links on
the page seem to be mostly
broken since the apache site re-org a couple months ago.
It would go a long way to dispel the general feeling that WSIF is dead
to have a release even if
it was marked as alpha or something.

I would like to second the notion of a new release. We had been looking at
possible use of WSIF at our company, but had just about given up on it
because it very much gave the appearance of a "dead" or "abandoned" project:
- No release since early 2003.
- Web site has broken and old links.
- Documentation (both downloaded and online) is incomplete and contains
"TODO's". Downloaded documentation does not match the online documentation.
- Examples contradict what the documentation says is supported. For example
documentation says only "object" messages are supported for JMS (which would
be a big drawback), while the downloaded example for JMS actually uses Text
Messages.
- Unclear how much of the old IBM documentation still applies (old IBM
documentation I run across online says alarming things like "no support for
complex types", "not thread safe" etc.).
- Included documentation has long listings of many API calls, the vast
majority with absolutely no actual documentation describing what the purpose
of the call is or how to use it.
- Inability to download the latest source or look at bug or fix lists.
- Little evidence of ongoing discussions or activity.
- The downloaded release doesn't compile with Java 5.
Perhaps if there was a new release that addressed some of these issues we
could reconsider using it.
Hope this email isn't too "negative", just trying to convey the impression a
complete new-comer gets when they first encounter WSIF.

Hi folks,
that news is breathtaking ! It would be wonderful to have an updated
release. I have been using WSIF on internal projects with success and
promote it whenever possible but the lack of recent official release is
often a blocker.
Thanks for the good job.

I have posted a year or so ago a number of pathes concerning the Java

from anybody who is willing to give it try and report problems/patches
