My question is, should the xerces project be included as a runtime librar= y of=20 ant. It is not strictly a dependency because any jaxp parser will do. In=20 theory another parser could be substituted but in practice it does not se= em=20 to be the case. Adding it as a runtime dependency would have the following effects.=20 * Many projects depend on xerces for the sole reason of running ant. If t= he=20 project does not actually include any xml dependencies they can instead j= ust=20 depend on ant and its runtime * Projects that depend on ant but use a different parser (is there any of= =20 these?) would have tonot depend on ant and runtime but on ant individuall= y=20 and the parser individually. In effect there is no change for these proje= cts. Thoughts? --=20 Cheers, Peter Donald "All my life I wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more=20 specific." -- Jane Wagner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
