Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on CTAKES-562:
---------------------------------------------------
Actually, JAXB is more comparable to Jackson than to xerces.
> Too many XML libraries

> Key: CTAKES-562
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-562
> Project: cTAKES
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: All
> Affects Versions: future enhancement
> Reporter: Sean Finan
> Priority: Minor
>
> ctakes has dependencies on jdom, xerces and jaxb to handle xml parsing and/or
> writing. In total this is about 3MB in jar files. That isn't much, but we
> can cut it in a third. In addition, using one api should make comprehension
> and maintenance easier.
> This isn't critical, but it should be relatively simple for anybody to do
> without nlp knowledge.
> One or more of these might be required by some other dependency (e.g. uima),
> so it is possible that we can't really clear any.
> I think that anti-xml is for scala and probably needs to remain.
