Hello All,
I was wondering when can we start merging the JAXP 1.3 sources ? Merging the code in branch/review/testing/committing to main trunk
would take time so at least from my side i would like to see this work started as early as possible say from tomorrow. What is the general procedure ? Is there any formality that needs to be completed first ? What is the opinion of
(Xml-commons/Xerces/Xalan) committers ?
I'm assuming that this is something that XML-Commons/Xerces/Xalan wish to do?
I've CCd [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well, as I'd like Noel's opinion, but my feeling is that *if* the Xerces/Xalan and/or XML-Commons community want this code to be imported (and it sounds like they do - but I'd like to see that formalised), then the community side is already there.
If that's the case, then I don't think we need to go through the full incubation process (Noel - thoughts appreciated!) - we only need a code grant from Sun (we can't take something into our repository until we are sure we have appropriate legal rights to do so) + someone needs to fill out the incubation docs to show that everything is AOK. I'm happy to help out with the latter part.
This is an update to the existing code that is already there.
It is, I suppose, a new grant of software to an existing community, so I think that what we need is the grant documentation from Sun*, have that entered into the incubator, and move from there.
Code grant details can be found at :

I checked on this one, This work involves legal and is being worked with legal now.
I guess this process would take some time so wanted to update the community about the status.
Regards, Neeraj
