commons-configuration's POM lists dependencies on Xerces 2.6.2 and

Inside Gump you get the trunk of Xerces and the trunk of xml-commons'
java/external. Right now it looks as if Xerces wouldn't see the
xml-apis jar you've downloaded (since that should contain
ElementTranversal). It may be that ElementTraversal ends up in a
different jar, though. I'll look into it.
Thank you Stephan. However if Oliver targets Java 1.4 for the next 1.x
release we might probably drop the dependencies on the xml-api and Xerces,
if I remember well these were required to remain compatible with Java 1.3.
I'd recommend sticking with the Apache versions. [Just upgrade to the
latest for your target JVM.]
AIUI, although some of the XML code in the Java libraries was derived
from Apache, this was done a long while ago, and has not been updated
in step.
If you do decide to drop the dependencies, make sure you test with as
many different Java versions as possible.
Obviously, it is not trivial to drop these dependencies. Removing the
Xerces dependency results in ~60 failing tests, most of them fail
because relative DTD references cannot be resolved.
If I only remove the xml-api reference, I get ~280 test failures of the type
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/ranges/DocumentRange
Maybe it helps GUMP to update the Xerces version. Does anybody know the
newest version compatible with Java 1.4?
