Can Axiom use Geronimo StAX API jar instead of Codehaus

I have successfully compiled and tested Woden's OM implementation using the
StAX api jar from Apache Geronimo.  I'd like to know if Axiom could use this
jar file instead of the Codehaus stax-api-1.0.1.jar file. This would resolve
one remaining issue we have on the Woden incubator status file [1] about
verifying licenses for software included in the distribution. This change
would require a more thorough test of Axiom than my Woden-specific test.

The remaining issue we have concerns the license file specified for the
Codehaus stax-api-1.0.1.jar file in the Axiom distribution.  Axiom specifies
the Apache 2.0 license, but we have not yet been able to determine with
certainty how the Axiom project came to use ASL 2.0 for this jar file.  ASL
2.0 is not included in the original codehaus jar file and there's no
reference to ASL 2.0 on the StAX api project at the codehaus website.

We did get some responses a while back saying that:
a) licensing of StAX is complicated
b) ASL 2.0 is the correct license (but without any explanation of why)
c) BEA is the only authorative source

I think the simplest option is to use the Geronimo StAX API jar (with it's
ASL 2.0 license).  Alternatively, I'll have to try the legal-discuss list to
try to resolve the license question.

Even though I have not tested Axiom with Apache Geronimo StaX jars , I
am sure that Axiom should work if they have implement the StaX API.

Excellent! David, thanks for the extremely quick turnaround.

John - We should update Woden to use an Axiom nightly build until the next 
Axiom release so that we can pick up and test this change as we move 
forward. I've updated the Woden status file to reflect this change in 
dependencies.

Axis2 devs - Although tested it's possible this change may break an 
assumption you're making. Thought you should all be informed.

John,
A jar with known provenance seems like a good idea. I'm giving Axiom
and Axis2 tests a go with the geronimo stax jar now. If they pass I'll
commit the changes this evening.
