Hi Camille,
+1 for replacing the Batik parser in platform.ui. I know that Paul was looking
for alternatives in the past. Please open a bug for it, so that we can continue
the discussion.
Best regards, Lars

Hi all,
In Papyrus, we’re considering a migration to the CSS version 3 (Instead of the
CSS 2.1 we’re currently using). Until now, we were partially relying on the E4
CSS Engine, and the underlying Batik/CSS Parser. However, the parser doesn’t
support CSS3. We’ve been investigating different CSS3 parsers for Java, and
found that all parsers implementing the W3C SAC API are hardly maintained (With
an exception for CSSParser [1], but it is distributed under the LGPL License,
so it is not an option).
So we’re now seriously considering the Phloc CSS Parser [2], which
unfortunately doesn’t implement SAC (So the translation is not
straightforward). This means that we’ll have to re-implement most of the engine
as well. Are there any other projects interested in moving to a more recent
version of CSS? The parser/API is the main concern here IMO, since CSS3 is
split into several optional modules (You can simply ignore some of the parsed
elements if you don’t need to support a given module, but the parser needs to
recognize every elements to successfully parse the file).
We also provide an XText editor for CSS (Currently 2.1), but it’s not good
enough to be used at runtime, so we only use it as a file editor (especially
for Papyrus-specific auto-completion and such). We’ll incrementally update it
to support the CSS3 concepts we need, but we’re not planning to go much further.
