The beta version supports both XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1. The link in your e-mail points to the build tools. The xercesImpl.jar in that zip is always from an older release, only there so that Xerces can be built using Ant on JDK 1.3. You should be looking at the binary distribution [1] instead. > Is my understanding correct, if so could you pls. Let me know, when > could we expect the stable version supporting the XML Schema 1.1. That depends in part on when XML Schema 1.1 becomes a W3C Recommendation. The specification isn't final yet. Though it's getting close to being finalized there's still a chance that some aspect of it might change. > Also the beta version of Xerces-J seems to be having a dependency on > Eclipse jar. I am hoping that the stable version, wouldn?t be having > such dependency. Could you pls. Confirm. The Eclipse jar you're referring to is an XPath 2.0 processor called PsychoPath. Xerces requires this dependency in order to support XML Schema 1.1 assertions (which are declared using XPath 2.0 expressions). This was one of the few open source options available for XPath 2.0. There are no plans to replace it. > Thanks > Krishna Kishore Thanks.
