 You were correct, while running the smoketest of Xalan with
 PARSER_JAR value set to xercesImpl.jar. It fails with the
 error:

<----Error message ---->

 My understanding is Ant dynamically loads
*javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory*
 (hardcoded in Ant) which is not available with xercesImpl.jar. So one
 either need to set xmlParserAPIs.jar or xml-apis.jar in PARSER_JAR
which solves 
 the problem.
 
 While the discussion on whether we need only one XML API jar (like
xml-apis.jar or
 xmlParserAPIs.jar) or multiple (both) on xml.apache.org should be left
to the project(s)
 only, if we don't seem to reach to a conclusion. While I am always in
favour of only one jar 
 (common) file either you call xml-apis.jar (by Xalan) or
xmlParserAPIs.jar (by Xerces). 
 But for sure, either of the jar file should have all Standard API's
required for any 
 project.
