There are two ways to distribute them via APT: Either at your own web site or as part of Debian itself. If you want to distribute them you either need to become a Debian developer or find a sponsor (a Debian developer who uploads the package for you). > Of course, they both require non-free JVMs and JDKs.

Xercex-J from the Apache XML project contains all JAXP classes and they are free (Apache/BSD license). -- Stefan Gybas
