Re: Default XML-parser implementation?


I've been browsing around the archives for this subject, but I
don't seem to be able to find the answer.
Browsing the libgcj.jar archive I've noticed that the
"javax.xml.*" packages are not present, so I cannot use the
Have you looked at lib-org-w3c-dom.* and lib-org-xml-sax.*
in the $GCC/lib folder? (Assuming mainline or perhaps GCC 3.4.0.)
I admit that I don't see a JAR for these, but the native
libraries are there.
These classes are included in libgcj-$version.jar.
So why are these packages present in separate libraries, then?
None of the other packages are...

They provide the implementations for the org.xml.sax and org.w3c.dom packages. They are included in GNU jaxp too. The important parts in javax.xml parts where never merged from GNU jaxp because of copyright reasons and bloat issues (1).
But there is no xmlreader implementation in there - only implementation of the factory-classes, right?

I thinks it really time to rethink this. Users want/need direct XML support and dont wanna hassle with installing extra stuff.
I sure would want it that way :-)
Or we should put a section into the faq regarding this...

 Martin
