I believe this could be addressed by changing the pom to only include Xerces and XML-APIs when compiling with JDK 5+ with a desired target of JDK 5+ and then having the unit tests that use validation only run when Java 5+ is enabled. However, this seems like a lot of work for little benefit since Xerces and XML-APIs already have test scope so they won't be brought in to a user's project unless they wants them.

Agreed, it is probably not worth the effort. So it is a matter of
documentation on our dependencies page. There has to be a statement that
Xerces is required on JDK 1.4 for schema validation.

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].
