- Both Elliotte's and Clay's questions below are important. If someone familiar with the code could comment on: For either the main trunk, or a temporary working branch for integration:
-- What JVM's will this code compile on? Version/Vendors?
-- What JVM's will this code run on? Version/Vendors?
J2SE 1.3.x, J2SE 1.4.x, J2SE 5.0. Again we qualified the sources on Sun JVM. But as there is no Sun JVM specific codem these sources should work on other JVMs without modification ( we have to try it out though :-) ).
Right. This hasn't been tried but i don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on any other JVM as there isn't any Sun JVM specific code.
In other mail i have suggested that active Xerces/Xalan committers can try this before committin on main truck as the plan is to put the code
on branch first. I proposed JAXP 1.3 APIs to be committed on xml-commons main trunk but i am totally fine with creating a branch first to test
the compatibility with other JVM.

We need to *clearly* document which versions this stuff works on, and should conditionally compile or something if it won't compile on at least 1.3
Right now we face compilation problems in couple of file with J2SE 1.3, but these should be worked around though. We can atleast have a switch to achieve the requirement of compiling on J2SE 1.3.
(since we still have a lot of older JDK version users here).
My knee-jerk reaction is also to hope that it will compile & run on both recent Sun and IBM JVMs at least before we put this on the main trunk: we should really try to be JVM-vendor agnostic.
I agree.

Are these APIs and implementation thereof independent of Java 1.5? i.e. can they be compiled and used in a Java 1.2/1.3/1.4
environment?
If not, could they be backported to work in such environments?

Forgive me if this is covered under Mr. Harold's question, but:
Would this also be portable to IBM Java 1.30 (and any other non-Sun implementation of Java...)?
