Hi I realize my remark is beyond the scope of this mailing list, but querying an arcane class name or proprietary name/value pair in the manifest is not portable.
Wouldn't it be nice if there were a parser/transformer independent way to
obtain version/vendor information?
In others, JAXP should have a getVersion() method on its SAX/DocBuilder and
Transformer interfaces.

I posted the same question some time ago and proposed to add a version
specification in the manifest file of the jar. I don't know whether
the latest version adds this line to the manifest file. FOP has a nice
ant task (manifest) which automatically generates a manifest file,
perhaps Xalan could copy this method.
Best regards,
Jens
