I noticed that the xalan.jar 2.7.0 from the ibiblio site does not
contain the BCEL at all. However, a lot of xalan's classes (maybe even
all) depend on it.

Are you going to add the BCEL to the list of dependencies separately?

Thanks.

You would have to ask the Xalan team for their plans; however, I would
imagine that their inclusion of BCEL is for their own internal
implementation and not as a supported API for the xalan.jar.  Probably
best if you put your dependency on BCEL directly.

Tim

I am not sure that we really need it at the moment. We do not need it
unless we want to use the XSLTC compiler which is a part of xalan.jar and
depends on BCEL.

The reason why I asked is a wish to be sure that I could use the BCEL version
later than 5.0, that is included into xalan.jar usually. For example,
I would like to
use BCEL 5.1 or later in some tool. But, can I be sure that the next
upgrade of the xalan
will not include the old version of the BCEL again as it was in the
xalan.jar version 2.6?

Thanks.

Can you explain why we need BCEL?  (All the Harmony tests pass fine with
the new Xalan version as it is)
