#133 Check if xml dependencies are stil needed

[michael michaud]

There are 3 xml related jar dependencies in OpenJUMP core :
- xml-api.jar
- xml-api-ext.jar
- xercesImpl.jar
Plus another version of xercesImpl added in ext directory for OpenJUMP 1.4.0-s version (for which plugin ?)

xercesImpl seems needed by GMLReader (exception at launch time if removed) : can it be replaced ?
xml-api and xml-api-ext can be removed without harm (test jml, jmp, sld, wms). Make more tests to see if we can get rid of them

I checked the lib folder of r.4071 and found these three jars:

xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
xml-apis-1.3.03.jar
xmlParserAPIs-2.0.2.jar

Are they OK and can we close this issue?

ok, checked,

the other two are dependencies of Xerces, the apache xml parser. we currently use Xerces for GML and WMS. hence, yes needed.

will try to update them to latest stable though. ..ede
