Hi, I am planning to integrate the latest version of Xerces-C++ (3.0.1) and Xalan-C++ (1.10) into SFW.
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/whatsnew.html#xml4c says Xalan-C++ 1.10 is compatible with Xerces-C++ 2.7 and nothing higher. http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/releases_plan.html page says "Further releases in the 2.x.y line are currently not anticipated". So, it is better to go with the 3.x version. There's no definitive release plans for Xalan. In this thread http://www.nabble.com/XML-Xerces-Xalan-td22637253.html , which discusses about the same issue, David (I suppose he maintains the project) recommended to use the trunk version with Xerces-C 3.x. So, should I go with 1. Xalan 1.10 and Xerces 2.x ? or 2. Xalan 1.10 + apply the trunk changes (changes are huge) as patches and Xerces 3.x ? or 3. Xalan 1.10 and Xerces 3.x and handle any issues not exposed during the testing, as bugs and fix them in future snv builds ? or 4. create the source tar using the trunk files (as of today) and Xerces 3.x ? or 4. any other options ? Please suggest. P.S: I have tried building Xalan 1.10 with Xerces 3.x. I had to apply quite a few patches (changes to build + source files) for the build to go through. Thanks and Regards, Seema.
