This note is to update all of the Xerces-J developers regarding some upcoming changes. We are going to be changing the internal architecture of the parser to enable XML Schema support. The changes will only affect the internals.
Since this change is more than just a simple branch and merge, we are going to be phasing the updates into the main CVS branch. However, before doing so we will tag the current source base and you'll be able to extract based on the tag, if you need to. I'll post the tag name when it happens. The update will have the following phases: PHASE 1: Adding new files PHASE 2: Modifying existing files PHASE 3: Removing old files Commits aren't atomic in CVS but between phases the repository should (cross fingers) remain in a clean, compilable state. After the phases, the parse should be roughly equivalent to the current Schema support but updated to the February draft. Once the code is in the main branch of the repository, we can attack the problem of moving towards full XML Schema support. -- Andy Clark * IBM, JTC - Silicon Valley * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
