I'm open to that, but is there a specific benefit to moving to this version? Does 3.x support java 8?
Good idea, I will start to check if it is possible. But notice that lot of dependencies dropped java8 support and it will be difficult to be up to date.
I worked with 3.x. To be honest, I expected more changes that could use some new java features but it looks like it is not a very active project. The changelog is available at https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxb-ri/releases
For the record, it looks https://github.com/phax/jcodemodel is a bit more active but the latest release is old too and the merge with upstream is compromised (see https://github.com/phax/jcodemodel/issues/73 and https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxb-ri/issues/1353)
I do wonder if there is something similar to codemodel that has kept up with all the language additions that Java has had recently. I guess probably not as XML has become less popular and so has jaxb.
@joelittlejohn What do you think if the support of Java8 will be dropped?
