hi Chris,

does this mean that a special notice (license) is required
to be included with that AXIS2 for jsr173_1.0_api.jar?

how is it about including API in downloadable tarball/zip/war

what repackaging API classes together with other in one JAR file?
that is what we consider to have for client side - just one JAR
file that has inside classes from all necessary libs so client can
have just this on classpath.

thanks,

alek
