: JDK 1.4 support for Xerces XML Schema 1.1 implementation

Hi all,
   Currently Xerces-J supports a min JDK level of 1.3 both for trunk
and XML Schema 1.1 branch.

I propose to bring up the min JDK level of XML Schema 1.1 branch to
JDK 1.4. The PsychoPath XPath 2.0 project has recently brought the JDK
support to 1.4, in a seperate Eclipse WTP branch for PsychoPath JDK
1.4 based adopters (like Xerces-J) -- this was primarily done at
PsychoPath to support Xerces-J. Please refer to the Eclipse bugzilla
issue, [1] for more details.

The JDK 1.4 based PsychoPath engine has same XPath 2 compliance as the
JDK 1.5 based version.

After we have a consensus on this, we can check-in a new PsychoPath
JDK 1.4 Jar on Xerces-J schema-dev SVN site & change the build
dependencies accordingly.

I'm really sorry. Yes I meant xerces-j-users. This was a silly
copy-paste error from me :-O

It would be great if you could please organize a poll on
xerces-j-users list about this.

I'm sure you meant xerces-j-users ;-) And yes I can post a poll to the
list. Will try to do that some time this week.

Hi Michael,
   Thanks for your reply.

Could you please organize a poll on xalan-j-users lists, to get user
community's opinion about this.

I think, one of the key questions about Xerces-J support for JDK 1.3
is, that how many users are currently using Xerces-J with JDK 1.3? If
any of Xerces-J users are currently using JDK 1.3, how long in future
will they will continue to do so? Also would they be willing to
migrate to JDK 1.4 to be able to use XML Schema 1.1?

You could addd any more questions for the users!

Hi Mukul,

This may be okay (my intuition is that it is in 2010), but like any other
proposed JDK upgrade we should be asking the users for their opinion since
this would impact them. Note that at some point in the future when the XML
Schema 1.1 implementation is stable it's going to get merged on to the
trunk so any higher JDK requirements it has are going to get pulled along
for the ride on the main line.

Thanks.
