The JAXP/1.0 (and 1.0.1) release includes "jaxp.jar" and "parser.jar".

The JAXP/1.1 release includes "jaxp.jar", "crimson.jar", and "xalan.jar".

You should use either one release or the other, but not both.  Note also that
putting these JAR files in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext may cause you to run into
"package sealing violation" errors in servlet containers like Tomcat 4.0, which
include the JAXP/1.1 JARs in their own classpaths.

99% of this is just oversight on my part :-(.  Deprecated functions still work
(and will continue to work through 1.0 -- it's just that you will need to
change any code that relies on them as soon as we start working on 1.1.

Maya, could you please file a bug report in the Bug Tracking System?

    http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/

It is *much* easier for me to keep track of problems there, rather than
potentially losing useful reports in the volume of mail on the mailing lists.
