This hasn't been tried but i don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on any other JVM as there isn't any Sun JVM specific code. In other mail i have suggested that active Xerces/Xalan committers can try this before committin on main truck as the plan is to put the code on branch first. I proposed JAXP 1.3 APIs to be committed on xml-commons main trunk but i am totally fine with creating a branch first to test the compatibility with other JVM.
