-----------------------------------------

Any chance this can be included in a 1.4 release? Do you need a patch for this?

> I found out that the dependency on https://stax-utils.dev.java.net/ comes down to two places where BaseXMLInputFactory.newInstance() is called.
> Is that intentionally or can those be replaced with XMLInputFactory.newInstance()?
> The method newInstance is not defined in BaseXMLInputFactory but in XMLInputFactory which comes from the JDK in Java 6. I don't know about Java 5, though.
> If it's because of Java 5 can I prepare a patch for using reflection to make the dependency on StAX Utils optional? The reason I'm asking is because I'm about to submit Solr 1.3 for IP review to the Eclipse Foundation because I want to use it in our Eclipse project. Lesser dependencies would make it easier.
