Java 6 and JaxB 2.1

Question

JAXB 2 appeared in the original version of Java 6, but I was told that "later" releases of Java 6 come with JAXB 2.1.

Does anyone know that the first version of Java 6 to ship with JAXB 2.1 was?

Answer 1

Obviously, Java 6 Update 4 was the first version to ship with JAXB 2.1 ( source ).

Answer 2

JAXB is periodically integrated into the latest releases of the JDK, so using the latest JDK, you should use the latest (stable) version of JAXB.

I believe that the possible JAXB 3.0 will not get into JDK 6, as JAXB 2.0 did not get into JDK 5.
