Xalan2 was released in February.  It since had a 2.0.1 and a 2.1.0 release.
It is included in the JAXP 1.1 Reference Implementation.  It is included in
the beta of the 1.4 JDK.

Xalan1 binaries are tucked away in an
"http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/old/".  The sources are about to be
removed from cvs.  It's interfaces have been deprecated since the release
of Xalan2.

Don't you think it is about time to upgrade to the current API's?

More information on the current interfaces can be found at
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/index.html.

You will find some helpful people at xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org .

Thanks.

Will the source be kept anywhere?

The question isn't whether I have upgraded to xalan2 for use with tools
like Ant 1.3 (I already use Xalan 2).  The problem GUMP had is with the 
dependency in the java source for the xtags tag library which currently 
requires the xalan 1.x API. (I am not the author of the xtags taglib, I 
just do the nightly build)  To satisfy those dependencies it has the 
version of xalan it needs checked in to CVS and its ant build.xml adds 
that xalan to the ant classpath.  I have not been able to reproduce the 
build failure that GUMP had with the xtags taglib.  I tried the build w/o 
any xalan jar in my shell CLASSPATH, with only xalan1.jar in my CLASSPATH, 
with only xalan2.jar in my CLASSPATH, and with both in my CLASSPATH.  
xtags built just fine in all cases. My build uses the Ant 1.3 release.

I don't know what caused GUMP to fail when building xtags.  But whatever
caused it, it isn't a problem in the jakarta-taglibs build.

Glenn
