HI everyone, I have to admit to being slightly dismayed about the energy being invested in this discussion on people's favourite distribution philosophy for Xerces, in comparison with the apparent lack of interest/enthusiasm for investigating actual reported shortcomings in Xerces.
I reported a putative bug in the XML Schema Validation functionality many months ago and only Mukul responded at all. After replicating the errant behaviour that I reported himself, his final recommendation was that I should debug the underlying Jave myself, which for me would be an extemely time-consuming process, involving a substantial learning curve on the structure of the code.. I would be very interested in (at least) the present participants comments. Many thanks, John MORRIS (frustrated). > On 20 December 2020 at 06:46 Mukul Gandhi <muk...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hi Norm, > Thanks for your thoughts. > > I've seen in the past that, people who almost never participate on Apache > Xerces forums (I'm talking of Xerces non-committers & pmcs), release their > own software view of Xerces-J on Maven central.
