Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on XERCESJ-1689:
------------------------------------------------
Not all tasks are parallelizable. :-( I'm not sure about this project, but when
I've released Maven projects in the past, my experience was that it takes an
experienced committer+PMC member about 1.5 times as much effort and several
days longer than a PMC member doing it alone. There are approval steps that can
only be done by a PMC member, and the coordination costs are significant.
By contrast, on a project with regular release cadence (i.e. not Xerces) a PMC
member doing it alone can usually bang it out in less than an hour plus the 72
hours required for the vote. It's very inefficient for anyone other than a PMC
member to attempt a release. I've done it when my day job was paying me to do
it, and it was quite painful.
Of course on a product without a regular release cadence, a lot of things can
go unexpectedly wrong so it's likely to take anyone some time to push this out.

> 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
> Assignee: Mukul Gandhi
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.12.3
>
>
> 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}}? It
> produces a split package:
> {{xerces-2_11_0: jdeps --jdk-internals -cp ./xercesImpl.jar}}
> {{split package: org.w3c.dom.html [jrt:/jdk.xml.dom, ./xercesImpl.jar]}}
> which prevents people from using modules in Java {{>= 9}}.
