New xercesImpl compatible with java 1.1 2003-01-10 - By neilg@(protected)
Hello,
Just to add one point to Joe's note: It is still a goal for Xerces to run
under 1.1.8, but we can no longer compile there. This is unavoidable,
unfortunately, because of some J2EE issues we had to take into account for
internal classloading. The unfortunate part is that this makes preserving
1.1.8 runnability more difficult.
So if you track the problem down to a specific part of our code that isn't
supported under 1.1.8, please by all means let the list know!
Cheers,
Neil

As far as I know, both Xerces and Xalan are still intended to run with
Java 1.1.8 (the "final bug fix" version of 1.1). The developers are
mostly on 1.3 or later, so dependencies on newer JDKs do creep in
occasionally; if you find one, report it.
Maintaining compatability with 1.1 JDKs is a significant nuisance, and may
even be costing us some performance. Unfortunately, every time we've
asked about abandoning it the Apache community has told us "I've upgraded
but my customers won't, or can't, and I'm not in a position to force them
to do so. I really do still need 1.1 support."
