Peter,
As a mere user of xercesc/xalanc, albeit within a long-lasting
commercial project, I was faced with the same dilemma.
In the end, we decided to opt for XercesC/XQilla for it's xquery /
xpath support, because it appears to be far more active than Xalan-C.
I found the integration of XQilla far more transparent and straight-
forward than I did managing xalan.
I still believe that XercesC is a really great library, and I hope
that it will have a long future.
The entire experience of having to wait for a long time to get updates
to key libraries has been a pretty shaky one.
Best regards
Ben.

Hello,
I do have to decide if to use Xalan-C together with Xerces-C in a
university research software project. Until now I was not facing any
problems using Xerces. However as far as I can see, the Xalan
project website seems to be pretty outdated compared to Xerces an
compared to the Xalan SVN trunk too.
For me the current Xalan SVN trunk does not build using Xerces-C
3.0.1 and Visual Studio 8 without errors.
Nothing that could not be fixed but this leads to my question.
Is the xalan-c project still supported?
How recommendable is it to start using Xalan-C in a software project
that uses Xerces?
I was not able to find a timeline. What are the future plans for the
project?
Thanks.
