I thought I just have to copy these files into 
/usr/share/doc/libgnujaxp-java/copyright
if not, I'll add the two files.

From /usr/share/doc/libgnujaxp-java/README.gz:
    GNUJAXP includes interfaces and implementations for basic XML
    processing in Java, and some general purpose SAX2 utilities.

SAX, not saxon :-) gnujaxp is NOT for transformations, just to
manipulate xml documents.

From the README file of libxmlJ:

    LibxmlJ is an effort to create a 100% JAXP-compatible
    Java wrapper for Libxml2 and Libxslt. JAXP is the Java
    API for XML processing, Libxml2 is the XML C library for
    Gnome, and Libxslt is the XSLT C library for Gnome.

    Currently there is only an implementation for the `JAXP
    API for XML Transformations' subset - package
    javax.xml.transform - and only a partial
    implementation. It should be complete enough to work for
    a number of use cases, though. See below for a list of
    limitations and unsupported features.

I don't think I'll have time to do that but I can try to package libxmlJ
(note that there is no release at the time)!

No, no sponsor at the time but I'll apply to be a DD next week. For my
packages, there will be many changes next week... I'll try to build the
package from the classpath source package. I'll be contributing to the
classpath project and I'll also have to pass my j2dev certification :-)
Will it really be hollidays? :-)

Cheers,
