[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-413?page=comments#action_72216 ] Carlos Sanchez commented on MEV-413: ------------------------------------
the fact that jdk 5 includes xml parser doesn't mean that the dependency is not needed. It must be there at least for JDK 1.4. Adding them to dependencies is not the problem, maybe you need to fork your tests or do some other configuration to avoid the problems. Unless you give a reason why this is a problem this is a wont fix. > Jaxen has unnecessary and unexpected dependencies (which cause problems with > JDK 1.5) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MEV-413 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-413 > Project: Maven Evangelism > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Jimisola Laursen > > The pom > (http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/jaxen/jaxen/1.1-beta-9/jaxen-1.1-beta-9.pom) > has dependencies on domj, jdom, xom, xerces:xercesImpl and > xerces:xmlParserAPIs (see below). > I can't see why any of these dependencies are necessary - especially not the > dependency on xerces.
