Hi Hauke,
we plan to continue to evolve Metro as the supported web services
standards evolve, along with incremental feature and/or bug fix releases
aligned with GlassFish releases (the afore-mentioned Metro 2.3.1). The
JAX-WS improvements/fixes that ship with the JDK is another example how
Metro improvements find their way into releases. Metro continues to be
an important SOAP-based Web Services stack. We continue to accept
community contributions, and please work with the Metro team ahead of
time to ensure any contributions can be accepted.
As for the github page - we've been (slowly) migrating component
repositories from cvs/svn to git. And for the already migrated
components we setup a java.net to github mirroring as some people prefer
working with source there - that's what gf-metro github page is about,
