Hi Michael,
In the company where I work (a large international financial business
in the Netherelands) we do not use JDK 1.3 anymore. I think that it
is about 2 years ago that we migrated the old Websphere application
servers which were still using jdk 1.3. On our AIX systems 1.4.2 is
now standard. But I see that most new applications require at least
java 1.5. And in that cases you see that just another java version is
installed together with the application. So migrating Xerces to a
newer JDK (why not 1.5) is
fine for me.

Hi all,
(including gene...@xml.apache.org on the cc list to hopefully reach
a wider audience)
We're talking again on the Xerces j-dev mailing list about dropping
support for JDK 1.3. The reason being that current builds of the
XPath 2.0 processor (Eclipse PsychoPath) used by the XML Schema 1.1
implementation require JDK 1.4. While we do have a one-off
PsychoPath jar that was built with JDK 1.3 some time ago, in order
to pick up recent bug fixes in this library we need to refresh it
with the JDK 1.4 version. This would only impact the XML Schema 1.1
enabled release for now but at some point in the future when XML
Schema 1.1 becomes stable (both spec and impl) this would get
merged into the main line.
Given the age of JDK 1.3 and that it's generally out of service my
intuition is that this upgrade would probably be okay but wanted to
check with users on their needs. Is there anyone out there still
using Xerces-J with JDK 1.3? If you are, how long into the future
will you continue to do so, and would you be willing to migrate to
JDK 1.4 (or higher) to be able to use XML Schema 1.1?
Thanks.
