The same applies to xml-apis.jar Also does this new version come from xml-commons?
This is a problem, that I tried to raise in the xml-commons community, but this is not easy. The code inside the xml-apis-jar is not part of ASF. xml-apis.jar is a recopilation of many standards. The xml-apis.jar is used by many projects: xalan, xerces, ant, cocoon, etc.
Yes, that is why xml-commons is so important. This stuff is vital to many projects.
yepp
I tried to push a version of the file, but this ended in a blah, blah, blah. Maybe if all us push about this, we will have and xml-apis.jar with a version.
Sounds like a good idea
I suggested that each change in some api will change the version of the file. But nobody did nothing.
I am concerning about this too.
This already gave us quite some problems in the past.
Updating Xerces and Xalan quite often resulted in trouble because some the 3 jar weren't really matching...
Ah, poor old xml-commons. Unfortunately, not many people from other projects are interested in it. So it is very hard to get things moving. I think that we should try to help rather than push. All cocoon committers are also committers there by default. So along with the help of other Cocoon developers, we should be there. http://xml.apache.org/commons/
Well, but we can't just go there and introduce a version number, can we? (...apart from theoretical "yes")
