If you want the lib-sax-java package I can upload it again. I just
thought that it was superseeded by xalan or xerces (did not remember
which one now). That is why I asked for its removal (no packages
depend on it).

IIRC lib-sax-java only contained the SAX 1 interface classes. So if you want the SAX API in a seperate package you should support SAX version 2 (which is compatible with version 1).

As I've already told, I'm planning to split xml-apis.jar (which is created by Xalan2) into a seperate package. But I'd like to move some Java packages to main first (including Ant and Xalan2) so packages don't need to be in contrib just because they need one of the Java XML APIs.

xml-apis.jar contains DOM level 2, SAX version 2, JAXP 1.1 and TRaX. It's only about 100 KB so I don't think it makes sense to split each API into its own package. I can create sysmlinks (sax.jar, dom.jar, jaxp.jar and trax.jar) to xml-apis.jar if that helps.
