Description Jesse Glick 2002-07-11 15:43:19 UTC 
According to the release notes, there seem to be a
significant number of bugfixes in Xerces 2.0.2. We
currently use 2.0.1 in
nbextra/core/release/lib/ext/. Not sure what XML
module guys are using etc.

Does anyone who knows more about details of XML
parsers volunteer to do an upgrade?
Comment 1 _ pkuzel 2002-07-11 17:57:30 UTC 
Generally it is necessary to check 
API signatures and try. No more 
sophisticated approach exists.

Startup performance should be 
compared. If it is better than 
with Crimson it should be removed.

We have automatical legal approval 
for all 2.0.x.

There is no clash with XML as it 
uses isolating classloader.

At last, please recompile with JDK 
1.3, last time there were 
NoMethodFoundErros on StringBuffer.

I could handle it at the end of 
the next week.
Comment 2 Marek Grummich 2002-07-22 09:20:03 UTC 
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
Comment 3 _ pkuzel 2002-08-07 21:18:53 UTC 
I updated XML module XML schema support to be 
compatible with Xerces 2.0.2. 
 
Xerces 2.0.2 must be patched by  
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11323 
 
I also think that Xerces 2.0.2 should be 
exposed as a library as Libor proposed.
Comment 4 _ pkuzel 2002-08-20 15:38:06 UTC 
Integrated.

I'll create new issue for Xerces library. Currently it would introduce
duplicated jar as Class-Path manifest attribute does not allow to
specify ../lib/ext/xerces_2_0_2-1.jar to share version available in
core.
Comment 5 _ pkuzel 2002-08-20 15:54:31 UTC 
The library issue #25539.
Comment 6 _ pkuzel 2002-08-20 15:55:51 UTC 
Errata: the library issue #26642.
