Spring Web Services 2 Cookbook
A new book, "Spring Web Services 2 Cookbook" has been published, which includes a minor section on Moose.
Moose 0.4.6 now supports Spring 3.0.x and Spring Web Services 2.0.x. The Ant build has been removed in favor of a Maven build. Moose 0.4.6 is now available on Maven Central. The public issue tracker on quigley.com has been removed and replaced with BitBucket.
Moose is a framework for marshalling Java objects to and from XML. It strives to be easy to use, lightweight and should fit into a variety of different development approaches. It includes support for Spring Web Services, XSD schema generation, contract-first and Java-first approaches.

Java.net was kind enough to give me the opportunity to write an article for their website. The article I wrote walks the reader through an example of using Moose's mapping and schema generation facilities to implement a "contract-last" web service.
