In that case the installation instructions should clearly mention that an XML parser and XSL processor are required. They must be installed individually if they are not already present in the environment where MMBase is started. They usually are present when MMBase is running as a webapp in a servlet-container, but not when MMBase is started as a standalone application. > If we want to maintain the size of the downloads, I'd propose > we ship it in stead with drivers for the most common open > source database which were tested (read: the right drivers > for postgresql and mysql). I suggest we do not ship the drivers, for the same reason we don't ship xerces and xalan. It's up to the enduser to decide which drivers to install.
