I finally sat down and did schema validation, because <xmlvalidate> couldnt handle the complexity of namespaces very well, and I had a pressing need to do things.
1. Moderate refactoring of XMLValidateTask to get it all to work; a few places where careful subclassing can integrate with this (fairly complex) task.
2. I create my own XML parser factory. I dont know if this is really needed; the docs were inconsistent. Particularly JAXP1.3 says you had better ask for validating and namespace aware. So I did.
NB: xmlvalidate docs say it is not namespace aware by default. I think it is now, as the factory is.
3. An inadequate number of tests. I'll add more as I use it, but more are welcome.
4. No running of these inadequate tests on anything other than Xerces .
Do we ever test ant with other XML Parsers? I'd like to try it on Java-5-retail , as it were; to see what sun broke.
JAXP1.3 says it ships with rudimentary xinclude support. Is this true? Does xerces handle it as well, or is it just a xalan thingy. I'd like an XInclude task if we could pull it off, to make my fairly complex xml workflow tractable (building up WSDL files from multiple XSDs).
