AFAIK, the xml-commons charter is a bit different from the jakarta-commons one. At http://xml.apache.org/commons/ I read: " it will also tend to be more focused on smaller, interoperable modules of code and a very high degree of stability." and "to get all xml.apache.org projects to take their xml standards oriented code - like DOM, SAX and JAXP - from specific marked builds of xml-commons" Since Morphos is going to have XML as one of many formats for file conversion (though initially the preferred), since it is going to use Jakarta POI, and since it will (hopefully :-) use many Jakarta projects, we thought that Jakarta Commons would have been the best solution. Because of this, I applaude the proposal to open the jakarta commons to all Apache committers. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
