   Hm. Digressing, and apologies for playing catch-up here if the answer is 
"tried, can't", but... Have we tested with the newer java_cup release? Unless 
we have a specific reason for staying with a back level version, the usual 
Maven philosophy would be that we at least try to stay with current code, 
updating our own code to track it if necessary... "At least version X" is 
preferred to exact version unless there's a known issue.
   
   The same would apply to JLex; if there's a way to avoid needing a copy which 
is both backdated and modified, we should consider that.
   
   I presume we know what the modification was, it's not just that we have 
previous version of JLex (it doesn't announce version number), and it's too 
messy to apply programmatically do a downloaded copy?

   Subject: Re: [apache/xalan-java] Improve build: add CI, run xalan-test in 
CI, download jars from Central (PR #2)
   
   
   wouldn't be the right answer for JLex, fetching 
https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/java/JLex/Archive/1.2.6/Main.java or 
whichever other specific release is desired.
   
   Please read #2 
(comment)<https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/pull/2#issuecomment-1196656754>
   Apparently, JLex.jar within xalan-java is modified, so there's no way to 
fetch a pre-built jar.
   I would suggest integrating JLex in a source form, and building it during 
xalan build, however, it would be too many changes for the current PR which 
focuses on adding CI.
   
   But it appears to be equivalent to the risk for java_cup.
   
   xalan-java uses java-cup version 11b or something like that.
   That version is not available on Central, so the only way to download it is 
to fetch from the project webpage and/or ask the maintainers to publish on 
Central.
