Re: Are folks still actively using Xalan-J?

[Joseph Kesselman]

Getting a new IBM donation may be a more of a challenge than I initially thought thought... If I'm now recalling correctly, the Websphere XSLT2 processor was our third-generation code, a complete rewrite as a modern optimizing compiler. That'd probably require a lot more review before the company was willing to open-source it.

Can't hurt to ask, but I'm less hopeful.

That shall be great.

Michael Glavassevich, works for IBM. He's on Apache XalanJ pmc, and is
also Apache Xerces pmc chair. You might explore, if he could be
reached to put this request to IBM.

Many thanks, for your interest.
