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.
