They're supposed to be compatible with JDK 1.2 however no one has tested that so I can't say whether they actually are. The same is true for all of the previous releases starting from Xerces 2.6.0. These were only built and tested with JDK 1.3 and above (though we only distribute the jars built with 1.3). > Also, any progress on getting Xerces-2.9.0 jars out to the maven repository? > > > Jake Thanks.
