Recommended parser for Java

Hi all,
at the moment yaml.org mentions four YAML parsers for Java.
It means that developers have to try a few to find out which one
matches the task.
Of course if one tries to parse a "hello world" file then all the
parsers work. But once the complexity grows then the parsers clearly
show
their peculiarities.
JYaml has the weakest parser. Sometimes developers even want to
compensate JYaml limitations asking to change other (properly
working!) parsers:
http://pyyaml.org/ticket/134
But Google puts JYaml on top when one searches for "java yaml".
JvYaml and YamlBeans do not implement complete 1.1 specification but
it is not mentioned anywhere on their web-site.

Sometimes developer's investigation may result in a misleading
conclusion. Like it happened here:
http://blog.bytemine.net/2009/12/07/yaml-in-java-and-ruby-welcome-yamlbeans
where the developer reports a failure for one parser (with one line of
code) and success for another parser (with a lot of configuration
code).

I think developers often do not have enough time to make an accurate
estimation. And the community should help here.
Also I clearly see the advantage that Python has only one standard
parser. It means that the whole Python community  improves
the single code base and it makes PyYAML very stable and feature rich.

I would like to propose to indicate the recommended parser for Java on yaml.org

Can we may be vote here? The poll is very simple.

1) yes, I do want to indicate the recommended Java parser and it
should be Bla-bla
2) no, please do not indicate the recommended parser (because bla-bla)

If we clearly see the leader then it may be shown on the yaml.org

I vote for p. 1 (Since I am biased I do not indicate which parser :)

The selection criteria may include:
- community
- open issues/bugs
- specification compliance
- features
- documentation

Please note that I do not propose to remove or discourage anything.
Just to select one parser for Java and mark it as recommended. Once
another parser
becomes better the recommendation may change.

P.S. I have already tried to compare available Java parsers:
