[izpack-devel] Updating to latest version of NanoXML

[Elmar Grom]

Hi Klaus,

as I had mentioned before, I am willing to contribute a chunk of code that I
am using for several years to work with javax.xml.*.

You can have a look at it and see how well it would fit into IzPack. I am
not sure how well it represents NanoXML calls, so some massaging might be
necessary to make insertion easier. In general it makes working with
javax.xml a snap. Most problems collapse into a single line call to one of
the XMLHelper classes.

cheers

	Elmar

Hi all,
will be nice if we change to an xml parser which is included in
the VM. I have played a little bit with javax.xml.*. For me it seems
so that with a flat wrapper the changes in IzPack have not to be
to big.
To declare a leadtime has the chance to define the used api (if a
wrapper will be used) and discuss it.
In my installations NanoXML is not used only in the common base of
IzPack else in all my custom code which needs a configuration via an
xml file. I will do the needed changes there because I am certain
that it is the right way.
If we find no api for a common wrapper I will do it for my own code.

We should see that a change creates an incompatibility for all users
which have custom configuration files. This has to be communicated
with big letter at a good seeing place.

May be we can create a todo list or roadmap for the next but one
release.

Cheers

Klaus
