Hi all, I recently raised this bug request with the PsychoPath team, to support JDK 1.3 (ref, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280798). Please also see this blog entry about this, http://intellectualcramps.blogspot.com/2009/06/should-psychopath-support-jre-13.html.
The reason I raised this request with PsychoPath is, because at Xerces-J we currently support JDK 1.3. PsychoPath community seems to think, they can support a minimum JDK level of JDK 1.4 (though the discussion is still underway at the above Eclipse bug request). If anybody would like to participate at the above bug request, that would be great. What should be the Xerces-J community's official position regarding PsychoPath's JRE version compliance? We can later communicate that to the PsychoPath forum. In case PsychoPath complies to minimum JRE 1.4, then Xerces-J Java 1.3 users won't be able to use Xerces-J assertions. One solution I could think for Xerces-J is: We keep the current PsychoPath JAR (which is JRE 1.3 compliant) on the server (perhaps also as part of our future XML Schema 1.1 implementation). We also ship another PsychoPath JAR (and update it periodically, in line with Eclipse PsychoPath releases) with Xerces-J which will require say min JRE 1.4, to get benefits of better XPath 2.0 compliance. i.e., we ship two JARs with Xerces-J. One with Java 1.3 support (with lesser XPath 2.0 compliance, which is presently residing on the Xerces SVN server) and another in sync with Eclipse version (which would have better XPath 2.0 compliance, as PsychoPath enhances). In case we do this, we can have a FAQ entry on the Xerces-J site, explaining this to our users. It would be great, if we confirm our official position in this regard, and communicate that to the PsychoPath team. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
