The former is Sun's fork of Xalan, which ships with the JRE, just like their fork of Xerces.

Simply drop the Apache versions into your extension directory. > What version of "org.apache.xalan.*" is "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.*" > based off of in this JRE? As far as I know, not even off of some stable release. If you want to know, ask Sun. -- Michael Ludwig
