Re: [stellation-res] Eclipse no longer ships org.apache.xerces plugin

Re: Xerces. Unfortunately, Xerces is *not* part of the Java API. Sun has
defined the w3c DOM classes as part of the standard API, and requires
all JDKs and JREs the include *an* implementation of the DOM. In the
IBM JVMs, that's Xerces; in the Sun JDKs, it's not.
I know they've included DOM & SAX APIs, and I thought that the
implementation in Sun JDKs also Xerces. I was mistaken. Anyway I don't
see an obvious reason why Stellation would depend on any proprietary
interfacs of Xerces. I suspect that the only thing needed to switch to
platform's DOM/SAX would be doing instantiation of parsers through JAXP.
So, to get the client working for the interim, there are really only two
choices: switch to the generic Java DOM support, or switch to JDOM.
Platform DOM/JAXP would probably be faster. I'll take look at that tomorrow.
