Joe, OK, it makes no difference, but it seems a bit odd to me that I need to instantiate the Version class just to know the Xerces version number (seems to me a 'contradiction' that you need to instantiate this class as you can argue there is only one 'static' version number per release).
Anyway being able to call the getVersion() method in the same way for Xalan and Xerces would be nice (more standardized approach). >From: Joseph Kesselman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: org.apache.xerces.impl.Version.getVersion() should be static ? >Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 16:51:37 -0400 > >On Wednesday, 09/04/2002 at 09:53 ZE2, "Stefan Geelen" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What will be the standard ?
