Both xml-apis.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar have the same contents. They
currently both exist because we wanted to give users a chance to change
their environments (CLASSPATH, etc...) without abruptly removing
xmlParserAPIs.jar. This file is deprecated, which means users are
encouraged to use xml-apis.jar (which is the new name for this package,
inline with the naming convention from XML commons). Once users have been
given enough time to switch over, xmlParserAPIs.jar will disappear in some
future release.


I notice that the nightly builds at http://gump.covalent.net/jars/2003-10-09/xml-xerces2/ still use xmlParserAPIs.jar but not xml-apis.jar. Perhaps it's time to switch those over? Better yet, start providing both, with a warning to other projects that in a month or two, xmlParserAPIs.jar will go away; so they have time to upgrade their build files to use the new jar.
