xml-apis dependency

[Bradley Wagner]

Hi,

Let me preface this by saying that I'm sure this has been answered  
somewhere, but I searched the list archives and read what the Xalan J  
documentation.

Is the xml-apis.jar still a dependency when running in Java 1.5? Seems  
like the JAXP classes that are needed come with the JVM now. Are there  
other things outside the JAXP 1.3 spec that are provided in this xml- 
apis.jar that I need?

I have an application with Xalan running it already and I know that it  
does not have any problem, compiling or deploying so far without xml- 
apis.jar in there. I've also tried some basic transformations.

Thanks,
Bradley
