[jira] Resolved: (XERCESJ-31) Bad (inconsistent) name for constant in org.apache.xerces.impl.Constants.java

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-31?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Glavassevich resolved XERCESJ-31.
-----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee:     (was: Xerces-J Developers Mailing List)

Whether changing the name of the constant is a good idea or not it's way too late to be making this change now. Although org.apache.xerces.impl.Constants is an internal class there are many applications which reference its constants. Altering the name of INCLUDE_IGNORABLE_WHITESPACE may break someone's code.
