Celtix + XFire = CeltiXFire?
A proposal is
I just saw this today while browsing the web:
Adinarayana Sakala: Project CeltiXfire is a SOA infrastructure framework focused on implementation of JCP and web service standards while also providing extensibility for legacy integration. It is a merge of two matured open source projects and communities, ObjectWeb Celtix http://celtix.objectweb.org) and Codehaus Xfire (http://xfire.codehaus.org). It will implement the JAX-WS, JAX-WSA, and JSR-181 standards. Core to this is support for web service standards like SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, WS-I BasicProfile, WS-Security, WS-Addressing, WS-RM, and WS-Policy. This project will support several programming models like JAX-WS, JBI (ServiceMix), SCA (Tuscany), and CORBA services (Yoko).
I'm caught by surprise as I was subscribed to the Celtix devel mailing list and I haven't seen any traffic about the merger between Celtix and XFire there. It feels kind of one sided. Then again, everything that the Apache Software Foundation does these days is one-sided.
At any rate, whatever the outcome, I echo the sentiment of maomaode:
Celtix和Xfire即将合并，合并以后的名字将变成CeltiXfire
CeltiXfire这个名字太难听了，一点创意都没有 :(
肯定不如JBus来的好听吧。
有点专业精神好不好！
(translation) Celtix and XFire will merge to become CeltiXFire. CeltiXFire is such an ugly name to the ear. There is not a shred of innovative flavor to it. Definitely not as nice sounding as JBus. Have some professionalism, won't you?
[Update] It looks like the xfire-dev list was kept in the dark too.

Michael A. Bender, Raphaël Clifford, Kostas Tsichlas: We are writing this sentence two days before the deadline. Unfortunately that sentence (and this one) are among the first that we have written. How could we have delayed so much when we have known about this deadline for months? The purpose of this paper is to explain why we have waited until the last moment to write this paper.
