Nope, but I did contribute to the latest release. > We can do this, but we like the stuff in the ibiblio.org repository to > be in sync, if possible, and that's not been the case for the last few > releases > Do you mean... http://ibiblio.org/maven/xerces/ I see the 2.8.1 jars and poms there. I can ping the xerces list and get them to put the 2.9.0 versions out there. What's the time frame for the next release? Is it imminent? I can work on them to get it out there. Maybe you can just check in the 2.9.0 stuff (xercesImpl.jar, xml-apis.jar, serializer.jar) in the meantime if the next release of Ant-1.7 (final?) is happening soon.
