identifying parser/validator obtained via JAXP

[Michael Dyck <jm...@ibiblio.org>]

Hi folks, Xerces neophyte here.

I'll start with what I hope is an easy question. If I'm getting a 
parser/validator via JAXP, how can I find out:
(a) whether it's Xerces, and
(b) which version number?

The implementation classes will be in a org.apache.xerces.* packages. If
you got com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.* or something else then it
isn't Apache Xerces.

org.apache.xerces.impl.Version [1] gives you the version number.
