Hi Michael,
Thank you for these information.
Having derivatives of Xalan-J are included in both the Oracle and IBM JDKs
represents a great motivation for me.
I am looking forward to hearing from the other comitters.
Sincerely,
Samuel Queiroz

Samuel,<br> <br>
(Speaking just about the Java version of Xalan)<br>
<br>
Derivatives of Xalan-J are included in both the Oracle and IBM JDKs. I<br>
would expect that the majority of users would be getting their JAXP/XSLT<br>
support in this way. I couldn't guess how many use the Apache releases of<br>
Xalan-J directly, but have to imagine it's gone down over the years with<br>
the availability of JAXP/XSLT support in Java SE and processors such as<br>
Saxon which have supported XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0 for a long time.<br>
<br>
I know there's been some interest by users for XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0<br>
support. They occasionally ask about it on the mailing list. Personally I<br>
haven't kept up with the standards, so from a technical perspective I<br>
wouldn't be able to provide much guidance for XPath 2.0 / XSLT 2.0. The<br>
other committers may have more knowledge.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
