[Fwd: Re: please update the next release of Ant 1.7 to Xerces 2.9.0]

[Steve Loughran <st...@apache.org>]

As raised on the user mail list. Should we upgrade? It would get the 
latest version out, stop them receiving support calls related to old 
apps, etc. And, assuming we have been using the live source tree in 
gump, it is what we've been building against.

It would be nice for everything to be in sync, but that is separate from
the apache launch. If the release manager agrees, then yes, we will ship
with the latest version. Given that SVN_HEAD Ant and xerces have been
coexisting on gump, the upgrade should not be traumatic.

I share Jan's concern (class file format might be too recent), other
than that +1.

I'm pretty sure that Xerces 2.9 came from trunk, but the XML APIs
thing might very well come from a branch we've never used in Gump.
