Hi all, As per this link, http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-contributing.html#faq-2 (Release Preparation),
The 1st point says, "Ensure that the API code has been properly refreshed. That is, make sure that tools/xml-apis.jar and tools/xml-apis--src.zip reflect the state of the branch of xml-commons that contains the API set to which the parser must conform." (the source archive is, xml-commons-external-src.zip in our SVN, which is the file name we should use I think). To do this, for 2.12.0 release I'm planning to create xml-apis.jar & xml-commons-external-src.zip from the repository https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/xml-commons/trunk/java/external. I hope this would be right? A related question, is it advisable to use the current files in SVN tools/xml-apis.jar & tools/xml-commons-external-src.zip for 2.12.0 release, instead of preparing new archives from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/xml-commons/trunk/java/external? I can see check-ins to https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/xml-commons/trunk/java/external, after 2.11.0 release. If we have to prepare the mentioned API archives, from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/xml-commons/trunk/java/external, I think XML commons version for 2.12.0 release will be XML Commons External 1.4.02? Thanks for any answers. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi
