Ok. I suppose, that the earlier XPath 2.0 code branch R3_2_maintenance has
not been pulled into the main webtools.sourceediting repository as part of
the merge you've mentioned. Or, has it been pulled?

Ok. I hope someone (maybe me), will try to modify latest version of Xerces,
to use the XPath 2.0 code from main repository and master. This won't be
trivial for Xerces, but we'll try.

Ok. I think, then I've to search for the last good version of
http://git.eclipse.org/c/sourceediting/webtools.
sourceediting.xpath.tests.git/tree/tests/org.w3c.xqts.testsuite with which
the latest version of Xerces XSD 1.1 has been built, and then reconstruct
the earlier tests locally using org.w3c.xqts.testsuite
<http://git.eclipse.org/c/sourceediting/webtools.sourceediting.xpath.tests.git/tree/tests/org.w3c.xqts.testsuite>
.

Xerces XSD 1.1 implementation still thinks, that it supports JRE 1.4
minimum. My personal opinion is (that is I agree with you) to move Xerces
to the JRE levels, proposed by WTP (since we depend on WTP's XPath 2.0
processor). But there's little incentive to do this by Xerces, unless some
new functionality in Xerces requires WTP XPath 2.0 implementation. There
are currently only 1-2 bugs against latest version of Xerces XSD 1.1;
Xerces is not developing anything new these days.
