Re: [Simple-support] Class type, jar size

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

Hi,

This simply means that StaX the XML parser used by simple does not need to be bundled with it in order for it to work with 1.6, for most other XML binding and serialization frameworks you will need quite a few dependancies which make the over all size much higher. Simple has no dependancies in Java 1.6.
