Code Question
Hello.
I'm looking over the code and found that the Kernel class contains a copy
of the org.apache.xindice.xml.TextWriter class; the comment along with the
copy says:
"TextWriter takes a Document, DocumentFragment, or Element and streams it
as text to an output source (or a String) -- Stolen from
org.apache.xindice.xml"
I do not believe that it's being used; could anyone tell me the reasoning
why the copy is there? Attached is a patch to simply remove the
Kernel.TextWriter class from Kernel.

Hi Fernando,
Welcome back, we can definitely use the help. For patches just send them
to the list, after a few we can look at getting you commit.

Thank you for the response :)
I was briefly involved with dbXML last year ( you can see me in the
contributors list :) and I'm really charged up to get involved with
Xindice. If there is a preferred way for me to submit patches, and get
into the ranks, please let me know. :)

ps - I see you're involved with an XQuery Engine xqrl.com. How is that
proceeding? Do you see it easily being an XMLDB service plug-in to
Xindice?

This goes back to when there were two separate projects, Juggernaut and
dbXML. Juggernaut needed *a* serializer to write its configuration, but
not necessarily dbXML's, and dbXML required Juggernaut to build, so the
class was copied to allow Juggernaut to build. When the code bases
merged to form Xindice, this was no longer necessary, so that inner
class is actually an unnecessary vestige.
