Use of Xalan 2.7.1 with Java JRE 6.0.05.

Hi,

Xalan-J XSLT 2.7.1 and Xerces Schema 2.9.0 are supported on JDK/JRE 1.3.x, 1.4.x, or 5.x. This is from below Apache site. 

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html

We would like to use Xalan 2.7.1 and xerces 2.9.0 with runtime Java version of Java JRE 6.0.05.

Do you know any backward compatibility issues and is it supported?

Thanks
Ajay

If you're using Sun's Java, it is practically a prerequisite for XML
processing to use Apache Xerces instead of the Sun implementation,
possibly by using the extension override mechanism.

The often-stated reason is that the implementation in Sun Java 1.6 is,
as a highly qualified authority put it, "ridiculously bug-ridden". So
don't use it. Use Apache Xerces, and Xalan, too, if you need it.
