[jira] [Commented] (XERCESJ-1689) Remove org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation from xercesImpl.jar
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1689?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17484581#comment-17484581 ]
Grzegorz Borkowski commented on XERCESJ-1689:
---------------------------------------------
We're also getting Eclipse errors because org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation is visible twice on the classpath now (one from xerces jar, one from java).
I think it's generally a bad idea to include the classes from completely different package (org.w3c) into the org.apache java.
Given the fact 99.99% of world is on java >= 1.4 now, the "normal" xerces release should not include HTMLDOMImplementation - if you still need to provide a special package for these miserables stuck with java 1.3, then maybe have a special branch and special package for them, called "xercesImpl-java13"? This would be more logical than other way round

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1689
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: DOM (HTML)
> Affects Versions: 2.11.0
> Reporter: Otmar Humbel
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.12.0
>
>
> The interface {{org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation}} is part of the JDK since Java {{1.7}}.
> Java 1.7 has been EOL 'ed since a long time.
> Is there any reason to keep this interface in {{xercesImpl.jar}}? It produces a split package:
> {{xerces-2_11_0: jdeps --jdk-internals -cp ./xercesImpl.jar}}
> {{split package: org.w3c.dom.html [jrt:/jdk.xml.dom, ./xercesImpl.jar]}}
> which prevents people from using modules in Java {{>= 9}}.
