Peter,

I think that the only thing Egon is concerned about is size. The applet is
now approaching 1Mb in size ... and I suspect somewhere between 250K and
500K of that is for CML support.

No. I eliminated all the jar files.

Now, all the classes that are needed are bundled into one jar file, making
it much easier to install and use.

Agreed.

We should probably take a look at this.

I have revisited the JME distrib which is deliberately small. It contains XML parser aelfred.jar at 25KB and CML.jar at 5Kb. I believe that most XML support is possible using Aelfred - you only need Xerces, etc. if you want validation. Aelfred parses all reasonable XML.


But Egon is in a much better position to evaluate it than I am.
