Hi All, Roman: Thank you for following up.
I think there a couple of worthy items to discuss: - Which Xalan components are we still interested in? We have both a C and a Java version. - Does the Oracle JRE still contain a fork of Xalan-J? What are the differences? - When we talk about Java, should we restrict the conversation to LTE releases like Java 8 and 11? - Saxon-HE feels so far ahead of Xalan now. Are there other XSL processors out there that are free and/or FOSS? - In light of Saxon, keeping Xalan-J alive seems more of an exercise in maintenance. Selfishly, it would help me at work, but I might be more inclined to spend my time to port to Saxon TBH, instead of waiting for XSL 2 support in Xalan-J for example. I'm sure there is more but that seems like a start ;-) Gary On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 7:27 PM Roman Shaposhnik <r...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi! > > apologies for delaying this by a couple of weeks -- holiday break and > $DAYJOB > are to blame.
