Related question from Steve Loughran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

"are the classes compiled for use on 1.2?"

I looked at build.xml and I don't see the source and target
attributes of the <xjavac> task set.  However, the releases seem to
be built using IBM's JDK1.3 and, as I understand it, -target defaults
to 1.1 for JDK1.1 through JDK1.3 and -source is ignored for JDKs less
than 1.4.  This leads me to believe that as far as compilation goes,
the Xerces binaries should be compatible with JDK1.2.  The question
is whether any JDK1.3-specific APIs are used that don't exist in JDK1.2.

Can anyone tell me, definitively, if Xerces2 binaries are compatible
with JDK1.2?  If this is true for Xerces2 itself, is it also true for
its dependencies such as serializer.jar, resolver.jar, and xml-apis.jar?


Also, any progress on getting Xerces-2.9.0 jars out to the maven repository?

I'm working on it, but I haven't pushed anything to the sync repo yet.
Is there are timeframe that you're looking to hit?
