It is very easy to recreate past builds with released versions of Xerces,
ServletAPI, and Ant.

The most active developer on the Axis project prefers Crimson (small, does
what we need), but I continue to prefer Xerces.

One of our goals is to work with a variety of spec compliant parsers.  Not
standardizing on one keeps us honest.

What platform are you developing on?  Let me know and I'll send you a zip
containing a small, standalone batch file or shell script and set of
current jars for each dependency.
