I was going to send you an email to let you know that the link was broken on the commons-feedparser site, but I forgot to ;) > > If you're running from a sandbox build I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a > commons proper build of 0.5.0RC1. The parse-rss plugin is running using the 0.5 commons-proper version of the feedparser, however, I bumped the version to 0.6 because I upgraded the jaxen libraries at the suggestion of John Xing. That required me to do a fair amount of hacking in the feedparser code to factor out the old jaxen calls, and then put in new jaxen calls to the jaxen-jdom API. So, once I hacked that, and included the new jaxen and jaxen-jdom libraries, I bumped the maven version to 0.6 and included it with the parse-rss plugin. The whole reason I upgraded the jaxen library was because at the time, Nutch had a namespace conflict with my parse-rss plugin, because Nutch relied on the dom4j library, version 1.4.2, which included some of the Jaxen classes, which caused the conflict. So, my version bump of the feedparser was originally to solve that problem, and that's the version that parse-rss currently uses. I saw that in release 2.0 of the feedparser, you guys are going to only rely on internal sax parsing? That sounds great! Keep up the good work.
