Build 20021127_0721VL?

What are the 'official' numbers for "xerces_4_0_5" and "4_0_7"?

Excellent question! I thought the XSD plugin would still basically work
with the 4.0.5 version of Xerces from Eclipse, although I haven't tested it
lately.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'official' numbers though. As far as I can
tell, the version numbers reported in the Xerces plugin you get with
Eclipse builds does not correspond directly to any public Xerces builds
from Apache, nor with any specific XML4J builds from IBM. You'd need to
ask whoever's in charge of Eclipse's integration of Xerces to find out
exactly what actual Xerces code from Apache is in each build in Eclipse -
unfortunately I'm not sure who that is (although I imagine it's in the CVS
logs).

I just checked the about.html file of the xerces plugin: it mentions that

I'm using XSD (build 20021023_1900TL) stand-allone, i.e. I include your
XSD jar files, the required EMF jar files and xerces jar files.

Currently, I'm using xerces 2.1 (because I simply didn't know that the
xerces plugin uses such an old version). This seems to work fine for XSD,
the only problem I found so far is simple type validation: I get
method-not-found errors because xerces APIs have changed in this area.
That's ok for me, I can avoid calling these methods (even though it would
be nice to use them ...).

Do you recommend to step back to xerces 2.0? I'd like to avoid this
because this might trigger problems in other areas of my project. I'd even
prefer to switch to xerces 2.2.1 ... Are there any plans to use a more
recent xerces version for eclipse/eclipse xsd anytime soon? Probably not
because Eclipse 2.1M4 still uses the xerces 4.0.7 plugin ...

Michael,

I'm pretty much stuck with needing to track whatever version of Xerces is in
Eclipse and I'm not involved in the plans or decisions involving changes to that
version. If a newer version works adequately for you, that's a good thing, but
only the Eclipse Xerces version is tested and supported for XSD.
