Xerces version conflict [message #4850]

I would like to use Eclipse XSD as standalone, and I see that it used the
Xerces plugin 4.0.7. I looked on the Apache Xerces site and I see versions
Xerces 1 to 1.44 and Xerces 2, but I don't see Xerces 4.0.*.

The reason that I am concerned is that in the application that I would
like to embed the XSD into we are using Xerces 1.44. If 4.0.* is the new
generation then I would like to port our application to use it. However I
didn't have any luck finding out about this.

Thanks

Hayden,

All the version numbering is so very confusing. :-(

According to the plugin, the real Xerces version is some 2.0.0 stream:



We've only tested with the version of Xerces in Eclipse.

When I need Javadoc for Xerces, I get the latest 2.x from Apache, but I use
the jars in Eclipse to actually compile and run. That hasn't caused me any
problems yet so maybe it will work for you...

As Ed noted, version numbers for Xerces in Eclipse are very confusing. If I could find the right people to complain at I
would. 8-)

We've only tested with the Xerces plugins provided with Eclipse (I'm currently using what they call 4.0.5). Note that Xerces
1.x versions will almost certainly *not* work; you'll have to update to at least a 2.x version of some sort.

Other than the specific Xerces version needed, XSD does run standalone quite nicely, by using the classpath found in the
org.eclipse.xsd.test plugin, in the test/xsd-standalone-test.bat file. (You don't need the testing .jar file; but that .bat
file should always be updated to the other .jars you'll need: a couple of emf jars and the resource jars along with xsd.jar)
