CXF Project Incubation Status

This page tracks the project status, incubator-wise. For more general project status, look at the project website .

The CXF project graduated on 2008-04-16

Description

CXF is a merging of the Objectweb Celtix project and the Codehaus XFire project. The goal is to combine the best concepts from the two projects and create an enterprise quality framework work for creating services. CXF will allow developers to use a variety of programming models, including JAX-WS, POJO, and Javascript, to develop services. The resulting services will have a pluggable binding and transport mechanism which enables a service to use more than SOAP/HTTP.

Incubation

These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.

These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.

Collaborative Development

  • Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project? DONE
  • Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.) DONE
  • Are project decisions being made in public by the committers? DONE
  • Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers? DONE

Licensing awareness

  • Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers? DONE
