RES: Dropping JDK 1.1. Support for Xerces2 2004-01-12 - By Rubens Del Monte
Elena,
I'm developing an application for palmtops and the VMs compatible with
palms support only JDK 1.1.
I'm using Xerces 2.5, and I use DOM with the PSVI document
implementation.

Assunto: Dropping JDK 1.1. Support for Xerces2
I would like to propose to drop JDK 1.1 support in the upcoming Xerces2
release (end of January).
As you know, each new level of JDK provides better performance and includes
more functionality, some of which we would like to start using in Xerces.
For example, JDK 1.2 includes new utility classes, e.g. Arrays class that
provides useful methods for manipulating arrays and HashMap class which is
roughly equivalent to Hashtable, except that it is unsynchronized.
In the future, if we choose to support character normalization in Xerces
[1] we might need JDK 1.4 which includes some support for internalization.
Just to point out, we are probably the last project in XML Apache that
still supports JDK 1.1:
Ant 1.6.0 requires JDK 1.2 or higher (http://ant.apache.org/)
Batik requires JDK 1.3 or higher
(http://xml.apache.org/batik/faqs.html#faq-17)
FOP 0.20.3 requires JDK 1.2 or higher
(http://xml.apache.org/fop/relnotes.html)
Xindice requires JDK 1.3 or higher
(http://xml.apache.org/xindice/faq.html#faq-N10067)
Xalan requires JDK 1.2 or higher
(http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html)
If you have serious concerns regarding Xerces abandoning JDK 1.1 support
please email to the xerces-j-dev mailing list, specifying why you can't use
a higher level of JDK and what parser features you are using.
I ask all committers to vote on this proposal.
Here is my +1.
