Re: java build and test challenge

[Mukul Gandhi <mu...@apache.org>]

Hi all,
   Wrt the below mail from me, to this list few days ago, I tried to
explore something different (often suggested by WTP SE committers, that we
should migrate to the XPath 2.0 processor from their master branch).
Following are my new findings.

I tested locally, building & modifying Xerces as per new Eclipse XPath 2.0
APIs, on WTP's master / trunk repos. I can successfully build the XPath 2.0
processor, and pass all XPath 2.0 tests on WTP locally.

And following are the results, running the W3C XSD 1.1 tests with these
changes.

1) IBM tests

total tests: 919
tests passed: 868
success %: 94.45

2) Saxon tests

total tests: 1288
tests passed: 1230
success %: 95.5

All other XSD 1.1 tests pass successfully, with these changes.

I'm afraid, we can't migrate to the Eclipse XPath 2.0 processor from WTP
master branch (that requires min JDK 1.5 for the XPath 2.0 processor),
since the tests 1) and 2) earlier used to pass 100% (with the WTP SE's
R_3_2 branch).

Copying this mail to Jesper & Nitin, from WTP team.
