README for xml-xalan project at xml.apache.org

The Xalan project is an XSLT processor that fully supports the W3C specs.

The Xalan community currently has *three* major processors in this CVS repository:

--> xml-xalan/* is the root of the Xalan-J 1.x project, which is no longer supported.
The last shipped release was Xalan-J 1.2.2 which is available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/old
We plan to remove this source code since all future work is on Xalan-J 2.x

--> xml-xalan/java is the root of the Xalan-J 2.x project, which is in active development (Jun-01).
The last shipped release is Xalan-J 2.1.0 which is available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/
Please see further readme files in that directory.

For more information about Xalan-J, ask on our mailing lists; 
mailto:xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org or see http://xml.apache.org/mail.html


--> xml-xalan/c is the root of the Xalan-C 1.x project, which is in active development (Jun-01).
The last shipped release is Xalan-C 1.3 which is available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-c/
Please see further readme files in that directory.

For more information about Xalan-C, ask on our mailing lists; 
mailto:xalan-c-users@xml.apache.org or see http://xml.apache.org/mail.html



---- (outdated) notes pre-June-01 ----
-- This Xalan build is 1.2.
   It is compatible with Xerces 1.1.3

-- IMPORTANT NOTES:

- If you have downloaded from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/, 
  you have sources and the build.  Open docs/overview.html for 
  information about setting up and using Xalan.  
  See docs/apidocs/index.html for Javadoc.

- If you have obtained Xalan from the Apache XML CVS repository, 
  you only have sources, so you must build Xalan, including the HTML docs.

- For build instructions and other late-breaking news, see either 
  the documentation in your download, or the full set of doc on the 
  live website http://xml.apache.org/xalan/
  Look in the Getting Started or Release Notes sections first.
