Ok so they seem to have actually only adjusted 3 classes:

org.apache.xerces.util.XMLAttributesImpl which they call XMLAttributesMMImpl

org.apache.xerces.impl.XML11DocumentScannerImpl which they call XMLDocumentScannerMMImpl

and

org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl which they call XMLNSDocumentScannerMMImpl

All other changes simply only have the purpose of using the changed classes instead of the original ones.

The changes in these classes however seem quite significant ... so I'd be really happy to hear that newer versions of xalan have addressed the "problem" Adobe (but judging from the MM insertion it was probably even Macromedia) was having.

I'm currently trying to whip up a patch file so you can see what they thought needed changing ... hopefully this has been already fixed in a newer version and I/we don't have to do anything but update to a more recent version.

Hi,


I am currently cleaning up a real messy build we inherited from Adobe. Part of this build builds a "patched" version of xerces, that seems to fix some problems they were having:


A patch for Apache Xerces 2.9.1 to retain line number information
for XML tag attributes that may extend onto multiple lines.


So I thought it might have been Adobe's way of dealing with things, the proper way however to have this sorted out would be to actually have this fixed in the original project.


If you could please have a look at this:

I would be glad to be of assistance in sorting out any problems.
