Hi, > getting that functionality from a library
The problem I see is version conflicts. What if the application uses a different version of the same library. > copied and used elsewhere Do these +350 lines mean completely avoiding version conflicts and removing one dependency? That would sounds OK to me. Personally, I really don't like copied source code inside the same project. > using JAXP you can never be sure which parser you actually get Trying to support all XML parser implementations and versions sounds a bit like trying to support all SQL databases to me. What do other people think about using JAXP?
