eBay SDK for Java: Migrating to JAXB data binding in July

In a continuous effort to support you better and provide an improved product, we are excited to announce plans to migrate to the JAX-WS standard.

Starting with the July release, the eBay SDK will upgrade from the customized version of Axis 1.1 to JAXB data binding per the JAX-WS standard.

This migration will give us advantages in terms of performance improvements, a standardized solution, parsing improvement, more stability, flexibility at transport level, and more.

Also, starting July, the eBay SDK for Java will support the following JDKs:

• JDK 1.5
• JDK 1.6

We will drop support for JDK 1.4 and Axis 1.1.

We strongly recommend that you to update your JDK in July if you are currently on JDK 1.4. JDK 1.4 and Axis 1.1 WILL be supported for the next year, but there will not be any new SDK releases for that environment.
