libxalan2-java depends on libxerces2-java but you do not need xml-apis.jar AND xmlParserAPIs.jar in your classpath. It's up to the maintainer of the application to know what to do.


This will anyway have to change with the inclusion of a 1.4 JRE: I
think XML APIs are part of the JRE now, isn't it?



mhhh I do have a question about this (even if don't know anything about java packaging for Debian ,Arnaud know that better than me ;-))


It's true that the jdk 1.4 come with JAXP as well as a version of Xalan for the implementation for xslt processing,... and a version of Crimson for SAX and DOM .
However, if,for example, I want to use a newer version of xalan or xerces (xml-apis.jar) instead of Crimson (well, any other parser implementing JAXP), you will have to use the endorsement Mechanism.
see:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100CB
(and specifically the last point)


Apparently, having the jar files in /usr/share/java will become useless or am i wrong?
Isn't this a problem for the xml related packages as xerces,saxon,gnu-jaxp,xalan) ???
