             Summary: Too many XML libraries
                 Key: CTAKES-562
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-562
             Project: cTAKES
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: All
    Affects Versions: future enhancement
            Reporter: Sean Finan


ctakes has dependencies on jdom, xerces and jaxb to handle xml parsing and/or 
writing.  In total this is about 3MB in jar files.  That isn't much, but we can 
cut it in a third.  In addition, using one api should make comprehension and 
maintenance easier.  

This isn't critical, but it should be relatively simple for anybody to do 
without nlp knowledge.

One or more of these might be required by some other dependency (e.g. uima), so 
it is possible that we can't really clear any.

I think that anti-xml is for scala and probably needs to remain.
