Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-3702:
-------------------------------------------
For the record, I'm also able to build Derby without tools/java/xercesImpl.jar.
I think that's a side-effect of Xerces being included as part of the Java
runtime libraries in Sun's Java 1.4.2 and therefore part of my
java14compile.classpath. I don't think we can rely on those classes being there
in later JDKs (they were moved to another package in Java 1.5 in order to avoid
conflicts with newer Xerces versions installed by the users) or in JDKs from
other vendors, so I guess that jar file should be left in the repository for
now.
> Remove xml-apis.jar because we no longer have to compile against jdk1.3

> Knut Anders raised the issue of whether we still need this jar file:
> http://www.nabble.com/Is-xml-apis.jar-still-needed--td17584026.html#a17584026
> I have built Derby without this jar file and run the regression tests under
> Java 5 and jdk1.4: they passed cleanly for me in both environments. I believe
> we can remove this jar file, which was added in revision 395643 in order to
> compile the xml support under jdk1.3--we no longer support that platform.
