mhhh I do have a question about this (even if don't know anything about java packaging for Debian ,Arnaud know that better than me ;-))
It's true that the jdk 1.4 come with JAXP as well as a version of Xalan for the implementation for xslt processing,... and a version of Crimson for SAX and DOM . However, if,for example, I want to use a newer version of xalan or xerces (xml-apis.jar) instead of Crimson (well, any other parser implementing JAXP), you will have to use the endorsement Mechanism.
see: http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100CB (and specifically the last point)Apparently, having the jar files in /usr/share/java will become useless or am i wrong? Isn't this a problem for the xml related packages as xerces,saxon,gnu-jaxp,xalan) ???
