Running wsimport got easier!

I recently updated my Vista notebook with Cygwin and tried to run wsimport CLI. Guess what, it did not run. Part of the problem was the wsimport shell script. It is always problematic maintaining scripts across various platforms.

This prompted me to think that why do we even need a shell script to run wsimport. We should simply be able to run it as:

$java -jar $JAXWS_HOME/lib/jawws-tools.jar endpoint.wsdl

So, I enabled this support in JAX-WS RI 2.1.3 code base and wsimport.sh|bat are modified accordingly. Try it from the nightly and send us feedback to us.

• Good! Scripts are a source of endless issues. Stephen Hahn was very recently talking about how problematic scripts where in the Solaris experience and that they would try hard to move away from them. -- eduard/o

• This is great! When can we see this functionality in Metro ?

• We are working on publishing Metro 1.1 nightly. As soon as we have it you can try 'java -jar webservices-tools.jar' to run wsimport.
