XMLLiteralType.rdfXMLLiteral
better accessed as
RDF.dtXMLLiteral
Is this a 5.6.0->6.0.0 upgrade?
Is is some aspect of XMLLiteralType?
Are you repackaging Jena in some way?

Dear Andy and the contributors,
Thank you for your hard work and congratulations on reaching the milestone!
I had an upgrade PR opened rather promptly on our Eclipse Lyo repo by
dependabot and it seems like the
org.apache.jena.datatypes.xsd.impl.XMLLiteralType is gone. I do not immediately
see it mentioned in the release notes. What is the migration path for it?
Thanks,
Andrew

The Apache Jena development community is pleased to
announce the release of Apache Jena 6.0.0
All issues for this release:
https://s.apache.org/jena-6.0.0-issues
==== Jena 6.0.0
* Minimum Java version: Java 21
* Reloading data into TDB2 is recommended
* Reload geospatial data for the move to Kyro5
* Lucene update to 10.* (this requires Java21+)
* Switch to jena-iri3986 as the IRI parser; retire jena-iri
* Retired - jena-permissions
* Retired - the Fuseki WAR file, jena-fuseki-webapp, jena-fuseki-war
Using Jena as an application library:
* Removed ARQ initial bindings
* Removed deprecated code
* Deprecation of TDB1 (but not removed)

@AtesComp
Update Fuseki Edit view CodeMirror usage
==== Impact:
The minimum version of Java is now Java21.
== TDB2
There is a fix for handling xsd:decimals.
It is advisable to reload data if xsd:decimals have been used.
== geosparql
jena-geosparql: Jena 6 requires re-creation of spatial index files that were
generated with earlier versions. The reason is a bump to the latest major
version of the kryo serialization framework dependency.
In general, it is recommended to back up existing databases including the
spatial indexes prior to engaging in the migration process.
The GeoSPARQL Assembler will automatically re-create all referenced absent
spatial index files. Hence, moving or deleting existing spatial indexes is
usually sufficient. The Fuseki SPARQL server runs spatial index creation of
GeoSPARQL assemblers during server start. This process may take a while
depending on the sizes of the involved datasets.
== Lucene 10
jena-text upgraded to use Apache Lucene 10.
== modules removed:
jena-iri, jena-fuseki-webapp, jena-fuseki-war, jena-permissions
== Package org.apache.jena.tdb removed.
Migrate to TDB2 or use package org.apache.jena.tdb1 (for now).
