RE: solution to Saxon 8.1.1 dependency & saxon namespaces

[Lawrence Jones <lj...@bea.com>]

Hey all

There have been various mentions on the mailing lists of not being able
to use the newer version of Saxon. As of the checkin below (378309) Radu
committed for me an update that changes XmlBeans' build process to
download and use SaxonB-8.6.1 instead of SaxonB-8.1 (which is what we
were using before).

A simple

ant clean deploy

should get everything working for you. If you'd also like to get rid of
the old SaxonB-8.1 jars then run

ant clean.jars

first.

I have not yet updated the docs - so please be aware that until I get
around to it the docs will still mention 8.1 as the working version. (I
will try to do this ASAP).

Note that you will _not_ be able to use the older 8.1 version of Saxon
through XmlBeans if you sync to any checkin after or including 378309.

I ran our checkintests against this on both JDK1.4 and JDK1.5 and they
passed - but I am not a Saxon expert, so please test this out and let us
know on the mailing lists if there are any unanticipated consequences.

Thanks,

Lawrence
