[jira] [Created] (DAFFODIL-2812) Exclude xml-apis from transitive dependencies

John Interrante created DAFFODIL-2812:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Exclude xml-apis from transitive dependencies
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2812
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2812
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Libraries
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
            Reporter: John Interrante


Xerces doesn't actually need xml-apis for the same reason that Saxon doesn't need it.  The xml-apis library is used to provide a consistent set of XML APIs across different Java versions and implementations, but the XML APIs are included in the standard Java runtime library in all current Java LTS releases (8, 11, 17).  We very likely can exclude xml-apis from Daffodil's dependencies safely, although we should do a lot of testing in diverse environments because the whole point of xml-apis is to provide a consistent set of XML APIs in these diverse environments.  Still, Saxon also works in many diverse environments so if it can exclude xml-apis safely in its most recent 12.2 release, it seems that Daffodil can exclude xml-apis safely too.
