JXPath - is JXPath dead in the water?

Hi All,
Is JXPath dead in the water? I can't find a post here in 2009 and very
limited posts in 2008.

Thanks.

Hi Matt + Others,
Thanks for your replies! I've taken your advice and re-seeded my question on
a brand new thread with subject "JXPath over Generic Collection<?>, How?".
If anyone can help with this I would be MOST appreciative. Also, I am happy
to contribute back to the project with examples if I can get some svn
access.

Big thanks, and hopefully you can please read my other post (fingers
crossed).

Andrew.

Originally that was under consideration, but to be
honest everything I personally know about XPath (1.0)
I learned in the course of supporting JXPath, so as
JXPath's primary maintainer I presently don't consider
myself capable of making such an upgrade.  There is an
open JIRA issue for XPath 2.0 support: 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-67;
further if you or anyone else has ideas on this feel
free to start a discussion thread on
dev@commons.apache.org (the real convention on these
mailing lists is to preface your subject with the
component ID e.g. "[jxpath] XPath 2 support").  A nice
start might be a boiled-down list of the basic
differences between versions 1 and 2.

Will XPath2 be supported in the near future?

Hi Andrew,
  JXPath is considered to be in "maintenance mode." 
In general, this means that this component is
considered to be more or less "complete" and that for
the most part, changes to the code will target bugs. 
Specifically with regard to JXPath, any new features
considered would address shortcomings with support for
the XPath 1.0 specification.  If you encounter issues
with JXPath feel free to post your questions to this
list; if you don't get an answer the first time just
keep pushing!  ;)

HTH,
Matt
