Increasing awareness of xerces 2

1) I've added a link for xerces-2 on the main page of xml.apache.org.  For
now it simply links to ~andyc.

2) Starting tonight, I will add xerces2 to
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/gump/latest/.  I'll forward on any build
failure indications here.

3) Once Xerces2 is able to be used by jakarta-ant, I will start uploading
nightly builds to xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-2.  Below my signature is the
error that I am getting with the latest cvs version of Xerces 2.

4) After that point, I plan to incrementally start converting nightly
builds of projects over to building using Xerces 2, gated only by how fast
Xerces 2 matures.  Key milestone will be passing the Xalan Smoketests.

Is it just my proxy, or is there an error on this page?

  <A href="xerces-j/index.html" onMouseOut="rolloverOff('side-ext-22');" onMouseOver="rolloverOn('side-ext-22');"><IMG alt="Xerces Java" border="0" height="12" hspace="0" name="side-ext-22" onLoad="rolloverLoad('side-ext-22','graphics/ext-22-label-2.jpg','graphics/ext-22-label-3.jpg');" src="graphics/ext-22-label-3.jpg" vspace="0" width="120"></A><BR>

It displays as 

Xerces Java
Xerces C++
Xerces Perl

C++'s onMouseOver says "Xerces Java 2", but the link is to http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/index.html

The link should be to http://www.apache.org/~andyc/xerces2/ and
not just to ~andyc so that people jump directly to the Xerces2
information. Also, should we put "Xerces 2" as "Xerces Java 2"
on the main page so that we match the Xalan jumpbar links?

Perhaps this information should be updated to be in style with
the rest of the web site pages. And there's probably a lot that
needs to be documented from the discussions and mails posted to
the list.

Also, is the SOAP link now obsoleted by Axis? And what about
Xang -- has anything happened with that project since the
initial code was donated?

Cool. Now that Arnaud has merged our parser configuration work
into the main xerces_j_2 branch, this should start working as
planned (sans the obvious bugs, of course).

Minor nit: would prefer "xerces2" instead of "xerces-2" just so
the naming stays consistent.

Agreed.
