Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-1923:
-------------------------------------------

The patch looks like a good improvement to me. +1 to commit.

The sentence below may perhaps confuse some users into thinking that xalan.jar 
is the only jar file needed, whereas it in fact depends on serializer.jar being 
located in the same directory.

> (...) download and install a binary distribution of Xalan from Apache and 
> place the xalan.jar file in your classpath.

Would it be worth mentioning that xalan.jar automatically wires other required 
jars in the same directory into the classpath so that no one is tempted to 
remove the other jars?

But anyway, +1 to commit the patch as it is. If we decide so, an extra sentence 
could be added later.

> From Daniel Debrunner:
> The XML operators and data type include text about requiring Xalan etc. When 
> trying out XML I felt lost at this point because there was no information on 
> what I was meant to do. It was the feeling I was being told "You need to do 
> something with Xalan to get this to work, but you are going to have to figure 
> that out yourself". It stopped me from evaluating Mustang with XML. Can there 
> be information in the developers' guide about this, and a link to that 
> information from these Usage notes?
