<snip/>
A number of reasons... Xalan and Xerces are literally the best XML/XSLT impls I
have ever played with. They also support an advanced plugin/extension API and I
can do really amazing things with them under Java.
As is the case Java is not Free Software which makes the situation bad. For a
while there I was taking a balanced approach (this was a decision I made 5 years
ago btw) and I think it is the perfect example of why people should NEVER use
non-free software.
My current goals are to move go GCJ and encourage SUN to do the right thing when
it comes to Java and make it Free Software.
This is a *big* move for me as I have use a lot of the libraries under Jakarta
(I used to be a fulltime developer there) and a lot of them require code from
the standard JDK.
Of course part of my migration to GCJ is going to be working on the stdlib so
that I can compile complex appls like Xalan on GCJ.
