Karl, I'm exceedingly sorry here that the IPMC as a whole let you down by not turning into these issues and dealing with them at the outset. There's been a lot of sensitivity expressed lately to Apache projects stepping on each other's toes.
Personally, I have no objection to including mutant jars in a -deps binary with a clear explanation of what they are, but I would like to see some support for that view, because I'd could imagine some objections based on recent email. In the longer term, if ManifoldCF really wants to include an "XML parser with a difference", then it's certainly possible for you to maintain and release a fork of Xerces under your own package names. I agree with Sebb that you would be well advised to find some other way around it. My personal reaction, in complete isolation from the problem at hand, was 'really? what's the use-case for non-well-formed XML?' This thread is probably not the best place to delve further in that direction. --benson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
