Vladimir Sitnikov commented on XALANJ-2635: ------------------------------------------- [~kesh...@alum.mit.edu] , if you mean "Created-By: 1.2.1 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)", in the manifest, then it means "Compiled with Sun Java version 1.2.1". It does not mean "jlex was created by Sun Microsystems" > Remove JLex.jar from the source repository > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: XALANJ-2635 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2635 > Project: XalanJ2 > Issue Type: Task > Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone(Ordinary problems in > Xalan projects. Anybody can view the issue.) > Components: XSLTC > Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov > Assignee: Gary D. Gregory > Priority: Major > > https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/tree/master/tools contains JLex.jar > which is a binary file, and its provenance is unknown. > The ASF rules forbid compiled including compiled code to the source > repository (see > https://lists.apache.org/thread/otx07h6vbjrsqd9r9sqpcpjscvjwtmfc), and in > this case, there's no real need to have JLex.jar in the source repository. > At the same time, the generated > {{xalan-java/src/org/apache/xalan/xsltc/compiler/XPathLexer.java}} should be > removed from the source control. > I suggest that JLex.jar should be removed and it should be replaced with > something else. > For instance, the source code of JLex could be added as a separate subfolder, > and xalan could compile JLex from sources. > It looks like the official distribution is not maintained: > https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/java/JLex/ -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@xalan.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@xalan.apache.org
