Hi Jake,
I am not an expert of xml ... so I do not know if there is any good reason why we should be distributing this particular version of xml-apis.jar. You are right that the xml-apis.jar which is being distributed with ant is not the same as the one which is packaged in Xerces Java 2.5.
Cheers,
Antoine
Hi Antoine,
I'd say, let they guys who distribute Xerces be the XML experts and trust that if they provide a particular xml-apis.jar with a particular release of Xerces2 (in this case, the latest 2.5.0 release), they did it for a reason and, unless we have evidence to the contrary, we should use the current provided version rather than some arbitrary previous version.
BTW, I've done a diff on the two archives and it seems that there are some changes in the following package (although I'm not sure specifically what those changes are?)....
javax.xml.parsers * javax.xml.transform * javax.xml.transform.stream * org.w3c.dom.html org.xml.sax org.xml.sax.helpers *
* contains classes that didn't exist in the version of xml-apis that shipped with Ant-1.6beta2
Looks like the JAXP version is newer and a bunch of other stuff is newer. I *strongly* recommend that the next beta (or final release) of Ant-1.6 ship with the updated xml-apis.jar. It should always match up with that of the currently shipped Xerces release (whatever release Ant chooses to ship, that is).

I see one issue right away. The xml-apis.jar which comes with Ant-1.6beta2 is old. The file size should be about 121k, not 106k and the folder dates inside the archive should be 3/26/2003, not 2/6/2002. You have XercesImpl.jar, version 2.5.0 there, and that is good, but you should take the xml-apis.jar from the Xerces-2.5.0 release and distribute it with Ant as well, not some older arbitrary release.
