Description Matthew Davis CLA 2011-03-31 11:21:07 EDT 
In the plugin org.eclipse.stem.ui.grapheditor, the class SpatialGmlExporter depends on the following classes from Apache Xerces:

org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat
org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer

The classes are made available through JAR files included directly in the project's folder and classpath.

I strongly recommend we use alternate classes included in either J2SE or EMF to deliver this functionality.  If this class is dependent on Xerces, then we need to formalize the use of of the org.apache.xerces plug-in from Orbit and request clearance in IPZilla.
Comment 1 Matthew Davis CLA 2011-03-31 11:31:32 EDT 
Due to the legal nature of this, I'm flagging it as blocking release 1.2.0.

Assign to jk
Comment 3 James Kaufman CLA 2011-03-31 13:24:53 EDT 
Dependences on apache have been removed. Jar files removed and build path updated.
XML serialization now done with J2SE
