Aren't you excited? I know I am. However... I believe that there are still a few things that need to be straightened out *before* we release. First are the changes I have listed in my previous message titled "[Xerces2] Missing API Changes". But also very important is fixing (or getting a commitment to fix) the projects that are still failing with the Xerces2 build as mentioned by Sam Ruby. Just as a reminder, you can view the output of Gump using Xerces2 at the following URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/~rubys/gump/xerces2/ I looked at a few of the offenders and, for the most part, it is more of a simple oversight than a problem with Xerces2. (e.g. importing org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser even though it no longer exists and isn't even used in that source file.) This makes me feel better but all of these reported failures are a big black eye that I would like to be healed before we release. Therefore, I would like an immediate response from the following projects regarding status, planned fix, etc. so that we can move forward with the Xerces 2.0.0 (NON-BETA!!!) release: (These are the project currently reporting errors from the latest Gump run. If the problem has already been fixed, please disregard this message.) xml-batik jakarta-turbine-torque jakarta-turbine-2 jakarta-avalon-cornerstone jakarta-cactus-22 jakarta-tomcat-4.0 xml-security If you are involved with any of these projects, please look into the errors reported by Gump and either fix it, if you can, or tell the Xerces-J team what is wrong with the version 2 parser. And if you choose the latter, please make your bug report correct and complete. Thanks! -AndyC P.S. Please reply to the xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org mailing list to report status. --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: webmaster@xml.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@xml.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@xml.apache.org
