What would a dependency of 1.5 mean with regards to the Xerces dependency?

You depend on Lang/Collections, and both are 1.5 dependent for their
next version.

With 1.5 the Xerces dependency is no more needed.

There is some work going on for a Configuration 2.0 version which uses Java 1.5. We have a branch for this project. So the idea is that 2.0 depends on Java 1.5 while the 1.x series remains on 1.4. Once 2.0 is released, there should only be bug-fix releases for 1.x. However, I fear there is still much work to do before 2.0 can be published.

In order to change the minimum required JDK to 1.4 I modified pom.xml. I was
hoping to get rid of all the XML-related dependencies, but obviously this is
not so easy.

When dropping the Xerces-dependency I get a bunch of test failures:
- Many of them are caused by tests for DatabaseConfiguration. Here dbunit
cannot resolve the DTD in the dataset file. This can be solved by simply
removing the reference to the DTD.
- The major problem is caused by tests that require advanced validation
features, e.g. schema validation. This is not supported by the parser
shipped with Java 1.4.

Because of the latter point I think we are forced to keep the
Xerces-dependency (with test scope). Unfortunately, this also demands the
dependency to XML-APIs - otherwise I get NoClassDefFound errors.

Or is there an alternative?

At least the dependency to Xalan can be dropped. I wonder whether this has
some impact on GUMP which has still trouble with building [configuration].
