The 'build dist' for resolver is not picking up the tests and examples in xml-commons/java/tests/resolver/ Fix resolver.xml build file to have -src and -bin distros. Ensure proper line-endings in .zip and .tar.gz (evidently .zip is for Win and .tar.gz is for UNIX. Finish attending to license inconsistencies as per: Re: some issues with docs: license review Finish initial website. Follow procedure in How-to Forrest Update the Resolver release notes. Update versions of external DOM/SAX/JAXP code to best-possible that still passes TCK-JAXP-1.2. making TCK-compliant API's common (Actually is neilg,ilene) Establish efficient distribution mirrors and change the download link on the xml-commons website. See doc Making your downloads mirrorable and the infrastructure@ list. Decide how to build separate distributable docs for each "component", and how they will also be published to xml-commons website (since resolver, which, etc. will get shipped as individual components, even though they live in the same project). Best if xdocs content can remain in /java with their code. See email: draft website for xml-commons using Forrest and a website with separate distributable components Fix the bugs that are listed in the Bug database for "XmlCommons". Basic consensus building/comments about explicitly shipping various portions of xml-commons as separate components. See email: [PROPOSAL] xml-commons project organization: several subprojects Decide directory layout. See email: Repository layout Replace the README file at http://xml.apache.org/commons/dist/ Better overview doc of why xml-commons has it's own sets of DOM/SAX/JAXP; also basic docs on TCK compliance etc. Discussion and concensus on packaging of external DOM/SAX/JAXP interfaces (xml-apis.jar etc.) and better jar filenames with a release version number. Published the new website. Hooray. Added the brilliant xml-commons logo. Added xml-commons/readme-build.txt to start to explain the build system. Fixed some license issues in various areas. Improved the build process for docs and consistency between the website and the distribution. Integrated javadocs with website. Added some ToDo items and noted some issues in How-to Forrest. Added some content as overview for each component. Added some ToDo items. Added placeholder docs and tabs for components. Built demo website using Forrest. Gleaned content from xml-commons/README.html Annotated example CatalogManager.properties for Resolver (see discussion) and new Tips page. Copied the docs built by forrest into the distribution and linked to javadocs. Added brief descriptions of the following new functionality to the release notes ... The CatalogManager class is no longer static. It is now possible to instantiate several catalog managers and each manager can manage several catalogs. System catalogs are always loaded. Tests/Examples available in the tests/resolver/ directory. Bootstrap resolver for loading catalog files. Avoids the Catch-22 of having to resolve the catalog.dtd before the resolver is in action. This release includes just the 1.0 XmlResolver component, by request from coccoon-dev and others. It is released for users who just want to use the Resolver and don't need the rest of xml-commons. Pending discussion on commons-dev, we believe that future xml-commons releases will be separated out in this manner (external, resolver, which, etc). Various LICENSE.* and README.* files for our external sources. New code! org.apache.xml.resolver.Resolver: Norm Walsh's entity resolver utility is now checked in and building! Minor javadoc fixes. Which - org.apache.env.Which - a simple environment check utility for xml-related items in your JVM's environment: 1.0 funtionality working. External - java/external/build/xml-apis.jar containing the follow packages: DOM Level 2 including all base files and HTML and CSS DOMs; from w3c.org JAXP code roughly equivalent to JAXP 1.1.3; for reference releases from Sun, see java.sun.com/xml SAX 2.0-r2-prerelease and SAX2-ext-1.0; plus bugfixes to org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserAdapter (make compile in JDK 1.1.x) and AttributesImpl (minor removeAttribute bug); from megginson.com although SAX maintenance has now moved to sax.sourceforge.net Project started.
