Could you please put in a bug report in bugzilla?

(If you're interested in doing some actual code hacking, switching the XML code from the Xerces to something newer would be a very good first task.

This depends on the amount of work required. I can take a look at the sources tomorow and let you know if I'll be able to do that.

I thought you were discussing dumping custom XML based communication protocol (Manitoba?) in favour of RMI. Is this still the case? If yes, maybe most of the Xerces dependent code can be simply dumped?

Another thought - JDK1.4 contains Xerces. Maybe we should just remove xerces plugin dependency and see if it still compiles on JDK1.4? Dumping xerces plugin from Eclipse distro suggests that the whole platform will require JDK1.4 now... You guys should know better whom to ask than myself :-)
