[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-413?page=comments#action_73256 ] Jimisola Laursen commented on MEV-413: --------------------------------------
Missed your first comment on this issue. Here is the same explaination that I had in the initial description: "a stripped down of Xerces is included with the 1.5 JRE and having addition Xerces libraries in the classpath causes major problems unless placed under lib/endorsed (at least to my knowledge)" Hence, it doesn't run satisfyingly out-of-the-box. Also, are really all these libraries a must (minimum requirement) for Jaxen to run? Whenever I use Jaxen in a Maven Project I have to start with the above exclude. If I am missing out on something I gladly hear some advice on this matter. What did you mean by "maybe you need to fork your tests or do some other configuration to avoid the problems. "? I haven't said anything about tests. Adding them to dependencies clearly seems to be my problem. > 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 > Assigned To: Carlos Sanchez > > 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.
