I suppose that is an Xml-commons "build" issue.
By the way, that build system is seriously in need

This is something i can work with you when upgrading to JAXP 1.3
APIs.

As the sources would be put in a branch so it won't affect normal 
development but it would be good if we can restrict
large chunk of changes to the main trunk and fix only critical changes. 
It would help merging the changes back to main
trunk. What do others think ?
    

I am a little confused about your planned procedure.
Are you suggesting to add a copy of the core code
to Xerces/Xalan then moving it to Xml-commons later?

No.  We are donating JAXP 1.3 APIs + JAXP 1.3 (Reference Implmentation) RI.
JAXP 1.3 API will reside only at xml-commons.  

JAXP 1.3 RI components will reside either on xerces/xalan.  

It worries me that we end up with copies.

I hope it is clear. Let me know if you see any issues.

Thanks,
