Hi,
should we start a official vote for the Java version topic for JXPath or following the release plan provided by Benedikt?

Re: [JXPATH] Java Version
Posted by Benedikt Ritter <br...@apache.org>.
I think we should stick to the plan I outlined. I hope to have some time to
work in JXPATH this weekend. I'll also work on a VM for building JXPATH

BR,
Benedikt
