Description David Konecny 2002-07-22 12:48:17 UTC 
In issue 20269 we have agreed (with Petr K.) that XML module should provide autoload 
NetBeans modules containing different versions of XML parsers (eg. xerces_version_2_0). 
Other modules written for some concrete parser version will then be able to specify module 
dependency on this module.
Comment 1 _ lkramolis 2002-08-06 17:09:43 UTC 
I will create a "org.netbeans.libs.xerces20x" module that will cover
Apache's Xerces 2.0.x library (see discussion in issue 20269).

Q: Do you agree with name (xerces20x) what should describe any minor
release of Xerces 2.0.
Comment 2 _ pkuzel 2002-08-06 17:21:37 UTC 
Unfortunatelly there are major behaviour changes for Xerces minor
releases (e.g. 2.0.1 vs 2.0.2 in XML Schema area).

What about explicit module names like org.netbeans.libs.xerces.vX_X_X
?
Comment 3 _ lkramolis 2002-08-07 09:06:06 UTC 
I am not sure if it was intention to make such changes in minor
release. But maybe it is safe to depend on concrete release.

David, do you still want to depend on any 2.0.x or depend exactly on
2.0.2 (I think ...xerces202 is better name)? Or maybe I could wait for
2.0.3 that could fix mentioned bug (but probably bring new bugs).

I will cover version you will ask for. :-) Please, could you confirm
your request? Thanks.
Comment 4 David Konecny 2002-08-07 16:05:09 UTC 
The version which I would expect to get is the one used in NB3.4 - I
don't know exactly the version number, but Ant is tested with it and
works fine. If a major new version appear during the next NB version
release or if some serious bug would be discovered in the currently
used one, I would consider upgrade to a newer version. But for the
moment existing one seems OK to me.
Comment 5 _ lkramolis 2002-08-22 17:38:43 UTC 
New Xerces module have been introduced.

Comment 7 David Konecny 2002-08-23 09:56:17 UTC 
Thank you. I will try to use in Ant soon.
