Hi, What is the best way to have the next release of Xalan include an updated regular expression library?
The one used has known errors as the sample program below shows. This error was fixed in version 1.4. https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2121 <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2121> https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19329 <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19329> My workaround is to remove the classes in package org.apache.regexp from the jar and add jar jakarta-regexp-1.5.jar to the project.
