I am an xml-commons committer and user of this stuff in Apache Cocoon and Apache Forrest. So i am looking forward to more people working at Xml-commons to provide reliability. One thing that we must have this time around, is a version number on the xml-apis.jar filename. [1] I suppose that is an Xml-commons "build" issue. By the way, that build system is seriously in need of improvement, but it gets us by. You would have noticed that there is very little activity with the xml-commons CVS, so it would be fine to work on trunk. At some stage soon, we need to move xml-commons to SVN. Hopefully that will not disrupt progress. > As the sources would be put in a branch so it won't affect normal > development but it would be good if we can restrict > large chunk of changes to the main trunk and fix only critical changes. > It would help merging the changes back to main > trunk. What do others think ? I am a little confused about your planned procedure. Are you suggesting to add a copy of the core code to Xerces/Xalan then moving it to Xml-commons later? It worries me that we end up with copies. On related matters, there is past discussion, e.g. [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=106739445900002 -- David Crossley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
