Xalan could be run without Xerxes, feeding it from other SAX or DOM sources. Performance characteristics will change, and some Xalan-specific features might not be available (not sure if current status), but this was the intent.
Theoretically, we should have test modes which confirm this is true. I haven't looked at it since rejoining, so I can't make that an unequivocal statement. -- /_ Joe Kesselman (he/him/his) -/ _) My Alexa skill for New Music/New Sounds fans: / https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WJ3H657/ () Plaintext Ribbon Campaign /\ Stamp out HTML mail! ________________________________ From: Stanimir Stamenkov <s7a...@netscape.net.INVALID> Sent: Friday, July 21, 2023 11:59:53 AM To: dev@xalan.apache.org <dev@xalan.apache.org> Subject: Re: [jira] [Commented] (XALANJ-2644) Publish xalan 2.7.3 to Maven central repository [Resending to the mailing list.] Thu, 20 Jul 2023 20:18:23 +0300, /Vladimir Sitnikov/: > The simplest way is to take pom files from xalan 2.7.2, replace versions > with 2.7.4, and publish the artifacts from repository.apache.org > <http://repository.apache.org> UI without any maven thing.
