Hi devs,
To solve and to avoid the incompatibility between versions, I think we need
to create tests for Xalan. I looked for tests and I couldn't find anything.
Initially, we could use JUnit to create integration tests.
I am planning to add these tests on the trunk using git.
Just to make sure: Can I use git to contribute?

In addition, once we have tests, I think we could make use of a conitnuous
integration environment.
What is the conitnuous integration tool used on Apache?

A Xalan-J 2.8 version could be composed by:
- Bug fixes for what become bronken with the 2.7.2 release;
- Tests for the existing behavior.
Thanks,
Samuel
