Re: [wtp-jst-dev] Is there a need for a common Xerces plugin?
|
Lawrence,
In Eclipse 3.0, we had to remove the org.apache.xerces from the Eclipse
Platform because of conflicts between the code in the Xerces JAR and the
built-in XML support from some J2SE 1.4 vendors. Whatever is done here
should be done in light of these experiences, to make sure we have a
workable story on all operating environments. For details on the conflict,
see:

[wtp-jst-dev] Is there a need for a common Xerces plugin?
Hi All,
There are several validator plugins (being contributed at the end of this
week) including DTD, WSDL and XSD which rely on the Xerces parser. These
plugins cannot use generic XML parsing as they need a validating parser
for DTD and schema files. Currently these plugins all require a base
plugin which packages Xerces. I'd like to get an idea of who else, if
anyone, requires Xerces. If there are others I suggest we consider
creating a base Xerces plugin, such as org.eclipse.wst.xerces, which we
can all reuse to keep from packaging many copies of Xerces in WTP.
If you own or know of components/plugins out there which have a
requirement on Xerces please speak up.
Thanks,
