That's a question for the PMC, do you know any member ? :-) Since Xalan is included in the JDK1.4 and is the RI, we can assume it passed the tests. The question is if distributing 1/2 of a spec impl. is ok. I'm not saying it isn't ok, just that we don't know. > You know, if what you contend is true, Xerces itself could not be > distributed without Xalan :-) Good argument. We can either ignore the problem - probably nobody will notice or care anyway - or just pass it to Sam. We allways have the choice of distributing the unmodified reference implementation from Sun ( unfortunately they haven't switched yet to xerces2 ) > If we do decide to include Xalan we need to figure out which xml-apis > jar to include since Xerces and Xalan appear to use different versions > :-( Can anyone vouch for the suitability of using Xerces with Xalan's > xml-apis jar or do we have to take a leap of faith? I think I can, I worked on this for a while and I'm familiar with the code. Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
