Robin Verduijn commented on XERCESJ-1689: ----------------------------------------- Perhaps another solution would be to take the {{org.w3c.dom.*}} classes out of xercesImpl.jar and put them in a separate xercesImpl-deps.jar, then uploading a new xercesImpl.jar with a .pom file declaring a dependency on that? Done that way, people can use Gradle or Maven dependency management to exclude that transitive dependency and just get the now non-split xercesImpl.jar without those core JDK classes. Alternatively, perhaps 2 separate jars could be published: a xercesImpl.jar as it is now, and a xercesImpl-nodeps.jar that does not contain any {{org.w3c.dom.*}} classes. Or vice versa, a xercesImpl.jar (with bumped version) containing no {{org.w3c.dom.*}} classes, and a xercesImpl-deps.jar that would be identical to the current 2.12.0 xercesImpl (but with a bumped version number). > Remove org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation from xercesImpl.jar > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XERCESJ-1689 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1689 > Project: Xerces2-J > Issue Type: Wish > Components: DOM (HTML) > Affects Versions: 2.11.0 > Reporter: Otmar Humbel > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.12.0 > > > The interface {{org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation}} is part of the JDK > since Java {{1.7}}. > Java 1.7 has been EOL 'ed since a long time. > Is there any reason to keep this interface in {{xercesImpl.jar}}?
