I made two large XML Schema commits last night, and I wanted to update any interested parties.
First, I made a large set of changes as described in my original prospectus for XML schema 2.0. The code now has a common format, passes a set of checkstyle and PMD rules, uses generics internally, etc. I want to emphasize that I mean no criticism of the previous authors and maintainers. Second, I started to check in the W3C test suite. I got approval to do so from a LEGAL JIRA. Due to a bit of a disagreement with JIRA, I only got about 1/2 of it on the first checkin. I will probably wait until I have more bandwidth (later this morning or when I get home) to do the rest. Davanum noticed that I updated the NOTICE for the W3C material in between. That was a result of fixing a dependency/build error in the first checkin while I had changes pending for the second.
