Yes, same here. Make Ant depend on JAXP 1.1 when that has been released, stick with JAXP 1.0.1 until then. I'm not too sure what we should be distributiong with our binary builds. As long as we stick to JAXP 1.0 the choice between the reference implementation of it and Xerces has been a simple matter of size - and we've always told people they could use Xerces if they prefered it. Personally I don't want to get into politics and chosing between Crimson and Xerces (which are both Apache projects) looks rather difficult to me. The size argument still holds true in that crimson.jar is about 10-20% of xerces.jar, of course. Stefan
