THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!

Should I Migrate Yet?
XFire users should consider migrating to CXF. Anyone looking to start a new web services project should seriously consider CXF. The main barrier is liable to be documentation at this moment. We will be adding LOTS more documentation though over the next couple weeks as we move toward the 2.0 final release.
