After Anita's mail, I tried running the server on 1.5 and the server started fine. Console output given below.

Our choices seem to be:

1. include xalan in our distribution

3. drop support of 1.4

Yeah. Will also start fine if you simply remove xmlParserAPIs-2.2.1.jar from ../lib/endorsed. However, removing xmlParserAPIs-2.2.1.jar will break 1.4, I assume. As Rick notes, the issue is that fact that xmlParserAPIs-2.2.1.jar set's the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory property to org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl. Sun 1.5 has altered the xslt package name in the 1.5 distribution. It's now com.sun.org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl. 2. make geronimo.sh sensitive to the jre version (either by user specified parameter or dynamic detection). Barring other options, adding xalan seems to be the way to go. We can remove it in 2.0 :-) Hmmm. Dropping support for 1.4 is starting to grow on me... Any other thoughts?
