The dependency for xerces in commons-jxpath-1.2.pom is too old
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JXPATH-75
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-75
             Project: Commons JXPath
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.2 Final
         Environment: java version "1.5.0_04"
maven2
commons-configuration-1.3
commons-jxpath-1.2
spring-context-2.0.1
            Reporter: Dmitry Katsubo
            Priority: Minor


The following dependency in commons-jxpath-1.2.pom (see 
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/commons-jxpath/commons-jxpath/1.2/commons-jxpath-1.2.pom)
 is out-of-date:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>xerces</groupId>
      <artifactId>xerces</artifactId>
      <version>1.2.3</version>
    </dependency>

The side effect from this dependency is, that some component, that implicitly 
uses xerces, may fail with this old xerces version. For example, I am using 
commons-configuration with spring framework which assumes, that XML parser is 
able to make XSD verification of configuration files, but xerces-1.2.3 is not 
able to do this.

Solutions are:
a) remove all dependencies from commons-jxpath.pom, related with xerces (I 
hope, most of the community uses at least java1.5, or one may include 
dependency on xerces in his .pom, as in (c) )
b) update version of xerces in commons-jxpath.pom up to 2.4.0
c) include dependency in your .pom, that overrides version of xerces
