The XML Commons website has been poorly maintained. Agreed, we should 
clean this up!

You can find the source in SVN here: 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/xml-commons/

Xerces-J consumes XML Commons External (these are the JAXP APIs) and XML 
Commons Resolver (XML Catalog resolver).

There have been requests in JIRA to support JAXP 1.5/1.6, mostly for the 
security properties that control entity resolution. As a first step to 
supporting them, Xerces-J would need a new version of XML Commons External 
with the updated JAXP APIs.

As for the XML Commons Resolver, I think there's a feature request 
somewhere to support XML Catalogs v1.1. It would have probably been from 
Norman Walsh. Not sure if there's a patch, but it's worth checking.

Thanks.
