A couple of comments: - Please cc: [email protected], since xml-commons is the actual repository that holds the JAXP code. - Yay! Great progress all, both Xerces/Xalan folks for coordinating, and Sun folks for getting the process unstuck. 8-) - Both Elliotte's and Clay's questions below are important. If someone familiar with the code could comment on: For either the main trunk, or a temporary working branch for integration: -- What JVM's will this code compile on? Version/Vendors? -- What JVM's will this code run on? Version/Vendors? We need to *clearly* document which versions this stuff works on, and should conditionally compile or something if it won't compile on at least 1.3 (since we still have a lot of older JDK version users here). My knee-jerk reaction is also to hope that it will compile & run on both recent Sun and IBM JVMs at least before we put this on the main trunk: we should really try to be JVM-vendor agnostic.
