A "Spring '02" XML Pack has appeared on the Sun page which now has top billing (the Fall release is further down the page), and the included JAXP for that release is "jaxp-1.2-ea2". I'm sure everyone will be shocked to hear that the jars included in "1.2-ea2" bear almost no resemblance whatsoever to those in the Fall's 1.1.3 release :)
Anyway, xalan is still there, but no crimson, which is of course something of a problem if you simply point your jaxp.home property to the new XML Pack while building, as BUILDING.txt suggests. We should probably update the build docs to require the Fall release specifically. I guess the other option would be to rewrite the instructions specifically for the Spring release, but keeping track of all of the various XML jars is a bit like playing three-card monte, and I don't want to play anymore =) On a slightly related note, the build.properties.sample file has Ant looking for jaxp.jar in the same path dir as crimson and xalan. Since the Fall XML Pack doesn't contain jaxp.jar, I typically hack that one entry to point at a copy I have from an old JAXP 1.1 download (back when it was separate). I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, but we might want to update the build instructions/properties.sample for that one as well, as long as we're addressing the Fall/Spring issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
