JDK 1.3 port status and question
Just a quick update on how the jdk1.3 port is going:
I've reviewed all Matt Bishop's changes and they are good. I've made a few changes to bring it up to the current v1 (soon to be 1.0.3) that is in CVS. It's currently passing all the DRT tests. I'm copying a few classes from commons-collections as replacements for LinkedHashMap and putting them into xmlbeans under common. Since the xml apis aren't in JDK 1.3, we have a new dependancy on xerces's xml-api.jar and xercesImpl.jar. I'll hand off my changes to Remy for him to check in real soon now.
I have a question for the community: would it be better to branch v1 for the port? Or to add a new v1-jdk13 directory at the root of xmlbeans as a peer of v1 and v2? Would that be less confusing for new users/devs or will it be harder to maintain? I am no CVS wizard, but I remember that merging changes between branches can be difficult. There has been some talk in Apache about using subversion instead of CVS. Does that make branching/merging easier?

Also, note that the 1.3 port is only for v1.

I think the code for JDK 1.3 should live on a branch rather than in a
separate dir. Merging from the HEAD isn't that hard. I'd be happy to
maintain the branch and keep it current with the HEAD.
Maybe we can create a separate JDK-13 distro. Because the APIs are slightly
different, it would help to solidify the notion that the two are separate
and not meant to interoperate.
