Description

The goal of this enhancement is to remove the aging, unmaintained NanoXML parser and use the one provided by the standard Java API.

The benefits are obvious:

  • reduced installers footprint
  • some features were not available in NanoXML (namespaces, xinclude, etc)
  • NanoXML had some unfixed bugs.

The work was conducted by Anthonin Bonnefoy and David Duponchel in a separate Git tree (see http://github.com/bonnefoa/izpack-refactorings/tree/master).

It is now ready to be proposed for merging into the IzPack Subversion repository.

As the changes are significant, IzPack developers are strongly encouraged to review it.
