I have CCed Chris who maintained GNU JAXP before we completely
integrated it into GNU Classpath.

Yes, all runtimes based on GNU Classpath (kaffe, cacao, jamvm, gcj,
jikesrvm, etc) should have the GNU JAXP provider as standard component.
It could still be useful for older runtimes as add-on. But it might be
more productive to upgrade those setups since a lot of new functionality
and bug fixes (besides the jaxp component) went into all the runtimes. I
don't believe there really is any plan to do any more separate releases.
Chris?

Cheers,

Mark
