I believe that, XalanJ tests should not be run from the XalanJ sources location (i.e from within xalan-java repos at the branch xalan-j_2_7_1_maint and having this somewhere on local environment, or via the XalanJ source distribution folder that users shall get by extracting xalan-j_2_7_3-src.zip or xalan-j_2_7_3-src.tar.gz). To run XalanJ tests from folders, when users extract the files xalan-j_2_7_3-src.zip or xalan-j_2_7_3-src.tar.gz, users need to consult the readme file located at https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=xalan-java.git;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=refs/heads/xalan-j_2_7_1_maint [1] that has instructions about how run XalanJ tests. We do provide, the file "testxsl.jar" (at path lib/testxsl.jar) and the fully populated folder "tests" (at the root of XalanJ source distribution) within XalanJ source distribution, which are only for user's information and convenience. I believe that, this is done as per feedback that we received during one of an earlier mails within this topic. I believe that, the issues that you've raised within your mail above (though they're valid technical points), should not be show stoppers for making XalanJ 2.7.3 release. You and others, should please review the XalanJ 2.7.3 RC6 further, if its good enough to pass for the XalanJ 2.7.3 release. Any comments about my points mentioned above, and any further feedback about this topic is most welcome. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@xalan.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@xalan.apache.org
