As said before, i do not intend to provide complete information on each library. There's a link to the library homepage to see more information. As stated on the project homepage, the benchmark is run under JDK 5.0_02, so i don not differentiate between libraries that run on 1.1.4 and on 1.4.2 only. > > > > Likewise it would be useful if the licensing and > > > > re-distribution > > > > requirements were noted. > > > > > > Same as above.

More important is the number of runtime jars - for build.xml, but that's also a minor issue compared to other bullets in the list. Thanks for pointing out though, i'll add JAXB DL size to negative points, but it will not affect the library size. > > > > > > > > XStream is normally used with XPP - did you test > with > > > > this?

I don't remember the exact version of XPP linked back when XStream was at 1.1.1 Regards Kirill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
