Rajiv,
Any idea of when we might be able to officially look at the ProjectX
source code under an open source license (the current Sun license makes
it impossible for me to look at it, since Sun claims to own anything I
think of after that)?
I'd like to start now to figure out how to integrate the best parts and
ideas of ProjectX into the Xerces-J code base. I'd also be particularly
interested in looking at the DOM implementation (I'm not ecstatic about
the current Xerces-J DOM impl...)
Also, do you already have a JSR5 wrapper for Xerces-J, or do we need to
find somebody to write one? (I heard from the DOM WG that you folks
intend to contribute one soon, maybe?)
