Guillaume, I think you have two choices.
1. Take out the two jars and instruct the users to place their favourite JAXP parser into the ant/lib directory 2. just drop xerces.jar in there in their place. I tried this with a xerces.jar, I built from the latest source and it worked nicely. If you do go down that path, you need to pick a particular xerces released version, I guess. You would probably want to test that it works too. The downside of the xerces solution is that the xerces.jar is ~770k, compared with ~140k for the reference JAXP implementation. Not a big deal, IMHO, but may be important to some.
