Xerces-j works with JDK1.1.8 again
Hi folks,
As of this evening, if you do a fresh cvs checkout of the Xerces 1
codebase, it'll compile and run under JDK1.1.8.
It would be very interesting to see how many users are actually interested
in this functionality. It's not hard to maintain in Xerces-1, but if no
one cares then in Xerces-2 perhaps it will make sense to drop support for
JDK1.1.8.
In any event, Xerces-j 1.4.1 should be usable with this JDK.
Cheers,
Neil

I am using this 1.1 version to be able to package the application with
jexegen (Microsoft SDK) as a sort of exe, together with Retroguard as
obfuscator (I cannot obfuscate the Xerces part, of course).

And please don't forget Apple users running system 8 or 9 only have a
java 1.1 jvm available.

It's not IE itself that's the issue, it's the MS JVM. Xerces needs to
stay Java 1.1 compatible if people are to be able to deploy it in COM
components. Maybe this won't be such a problem once MSXML 4 is stable,
but until then I'll stick with Xerces as a tried and tested
schema-validating parser.

Neil, the primary (only ??) reason one would support JDK1.1 is perhaps
Internet Explorer compatibility. Maybe I am wrong. If IE is the only /
primary reason, the question to ask is how many folks use Xerces within
an applet. Perhaps they can use the Java plug in.
I would support dropping JDK 1.1 support, as migrating to Java 2 would
have some significant benefits. Use of the Collections api's and
resulting performance gains being one of them.
