i did not find answer still and i got no answer on xerces-j-user so i submit it here with hope to get some answers. otherwise i am thinking about filing it as bugzilla bug to both document and/or improve version and dependency handling.
thanks,

Subject: how to determine version xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar [Re: Xerces 2.3.0 and *apis.jar]

hi,
is there a recommended way to check that APIs and Xerces implementation jar files are in sync and compatible (except manually debugging classpath ...)? is metadata information (such as version of APIs or what version of APIs Xerces impl requires) recorded somewhere when those jar files are built so it can be easily accessed: xercesImpl.jar has empty Manifest .mf but xml-apis.jar has Manifest.mf with API versions but it is not clear how this can be used - so i wonder is there any way to discover version xml-apis.jar (and of all APIs that included in it) from java program?
or best of all: can somebody provide a pointer to existing documentation on how to deal with those issues (best practices) when working with XML APIs and their implementations (such as Xerces2 and in general)?
thanks,
alek

xml-apis.jar that Xerces and Xalan both ship.At one point, we were trying to persuade folks that XML-Commons should be generating the jarfile, and Xalan and Xerces should both simply pick it up from them. I've still got some hope that, as we converge, that will become the accepted solution...
