>   The XMPP transport module (axis2-transport-xmpp) depends on jivesoftware:smack and jivesoftware:smackx — artifacts that have not been updated since approximately 2008. The modern Smack library is under org.igniterealtime.smack (Smack 4.x) with a completely incompatible API.
>   This module cannot function against any current XMPP server without a full rewrite. Unlike the CORBA module (which has at least one known active user), there are no known users of the XMPP transport.
>   The XMPP transport was designed for an era when XMPP was considered a potential web services transport protocol. That use case never materialized — XMPP is used for chat federation and IoT messaging, not for invoking web services.
>   Scope:
>   - Remove modules/transport/xmpp
>   - Remove XMPP references from parent POM module list
>   - Remove from distribution/assembly descriptors if referenced
