Re: [ormf-dev] Jaxen woes

Achim,

I agree with you, really, that changing dom4j is less than ideal. The question is, though, is it doable and if it is we need to consider whether or not we "have to" given resourcing and goals. One of the reasons I considered this approach is because another Eclipse project in the same situation with Jaxen modified Jdom in the manner we are discussing. That worked for the foundation. But you are absolutely right in the the the first thing for you to check is the dom4j licence to see the repercussions of altering code.

Thanks again,
Joel

Thanks Achim. The estimate for refactoring Dom4J to get away from Jaxen is what is really needed right now.

Obviously I missed your point completely.

That will not however give you any insight into the Useme code, the idea is to fix dom4j and the changes will be transparent to our code. What I know so far is that there are 8 classes in dom4j that have jaxen dependencies.

I don't like this approach. It forces us to change other peoples code (which is hopefully covert by their license) and have to go with this code through IP. I will have a look at dom4j anyway, maybe there is another solution.

If you want to look into EMF, that is great, but it is tangential to the first step. I guess this is less than a days work to scope. As far as timing, I would really like to know about dom4j sooner rather than later as it will be one of the keys that will drive our decision making process.

I'll start today and will get back to you this week, hopefully on Thursday.

Achim
