<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We released a product that included these four JDOM
helpers:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
jaxen-core.jar<BR> saxpath.jar<BR>
xerces.jar<BR> xml-apis.jar</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, from the JDOM README file:</FONT></DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>JDK 1.4 includes XML parser and
transformation classes, so if you're<BR>using JDK 1.4+ you don't really need
to worry about most of the JARs<BR>in this directory. However, you might
want to add xerces.jar and<BR>xml-apis.jar to your classpath so JDOM will use
Xerces 2.4.0 instead<BR>of the default JDK parser Crimson 1.1. You can
also use xalan.jar to<BR>use Xalan 2.5_D1 instead of the older Xalan that
comes with the JDK.<BR>See below.</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>For JDK 1.3 and earlier users, you'll want to
add xerces.jar,<BR>xml-apis.jar, and xalan.jar to your classpath. Or you
can use any<BR>third party parser too.</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>All users should add jaxen-core.jar,
jaxen-jdom.jar, and saxpath.jar<BR>to their classpath to use the XPath
features in JDOM.<BR></EM></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We're now trying to reduce the size of our applet
archive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My questions are: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - Can we
safely remove the four jar files above? and just rely on the JRE 1.4.2
rt.jar class files ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - What is the
difference between Xerces 2.4.0 and Crimson 1.1 ? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - Would it
cause errors to go from Xerces 2.4.0 (in version 1 of my app) to Crimson 1.1 (in
version 2 of my app) ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> - What is the
difference between Xalan 2.5_D1 and the "older Xalan that comes with the JDK"
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
