AW: [xml-dev] [ANNOUNCEMENT]: Apache Xerces-J 2.12.0 now available

["Peintner, Daniel" <daniel.peintner.ext@siemens.com>]

All,

Great news and thanks for your hard work!
I planned to switch to the latest version in some of my maven-based projects and noticed that Apache Xerces-J 2.12.0 is not yet pushed to Maven.  I assume this is going to happen soon also.. right?

Thanks,

-- Daniel

Well done!  Good to see.
Now that Java comes with a recent Xerces implementation too, instead of the old crappy one, things might be looking up for people who need XSD. (Java is still only XSD 1.0, shame on them.)
