RE: [Classpathx-xml] gnujaxp with JDK1.1.8

[Ma, Steve]

Is it possible to release just the AElfred2 parser alone in a jar to
minimize the size? 

Currently, I can only shrink the jar size to about 150K containing the
following: 
(Without modifying any code, just let javac check the dependencies)

gnu.xml.aelfred2.*
gnu.xml.pipeline.* 
gnu.xml.util.*

and

org.xml.sax.*
org.xml.sax.ext.*
org.xml.sax.helpers.*

Because of some imports used in Pipeline, I had to keep the org.xml.sax
stuff.  And Aelfred2 uses Pipeline/Util, I had to keep them as well.

However, I really just need a JAXP compliant parser to put on a small
device. And 150K is still quite large for me.  And I haven't been able to
find a JAXP compliant XML parser that is small enough. (Xerces is too big).
So could you release just the "parser" component of the GNUJAXP library?
(The original AElfred parser I had was about 20K)

Really appreciate your help.

Steve

I'm feeling tempted too ... :)

Likely after I track down an anomolous performance issue that
someone reported with DOM.  I hope that's in the next week.
So far Beta2 will have:

    - Compiles and runs on JDK 1.1
    - Includes OASIS XML Catalogs support
    - Performance tweak: fewer buffer copies/scans in AElfred2
    - Cleaned up some loose ends in javax.xml.parsers.*
    - Other fixes

I might sync with the latest SAX2 CVS as well, that'd just
affect javadoc.  Is there anything else you think should go in?
