Re: [Classpathx-discuss] Re: servlet code

JAXP Xml code is part of the JDK 1.4.
Also, several parts of JDK 1.4, including the new 
java.util logging and preferences packages depend on having
XML support built in.

So I hope that XML will make it into libgcj, for 1.4 compatibility.

Thanks,

Eddie Benowitz.
