Quote from website " Note: This service is deprecated and will be discontinued 
in the future!"

looks a good enough for me to stamp DEAD!

Note the list of software this website provides is
    *  MetaEnvironment
    * ASF+SDF
    * ATerm
    * ToolBus
    * TIDE
    * ApiGen
    * JJTraveler
    * Sisyphus

Looks dead, nothing dated so can't actually tell when the lastest release 
(0.51) was released.  but seeing it was Nov 2005 when 0.48 was released this 
project can only be described as dead or comatose

looks to have gone closed sourced upstream, HOMEPAGE has moved and
upstream jar is no more.  This shouts DEAD!

xmlunit hasn't had its last release (1.0) in 2003.  So development looks dead.
But,  has anyone found this package useful,  does anyone forsee this package 
being useful.

As a description:
"XMLUnit extends JUnit and NUnit to enable unit testing of XML. It compares a 
control XML document to a test document or the result of a transformation, 
validates documents, and compares the results of XPath expressions."

Are there anyother packages that filfull the same functions that is in active 
development?
