Bug#394221: libxerces2-java: refers to jaxp-1.3.jar but depends on libjaxp1.2-java

severity 394221 serious
thanks

Lowering severity somewhat, let's keep our heads cool :-) This does not break 
unrelated software, but rather related software like ant (which depends on 
libxerces2-java).

I can prepare a  fix for this one today. But in the longer perspective the 
mess with different JAXP versions needs to be cleaned up.

Recent versions of the Java platform already contain the JAXP API, making 
libjaxp1.x-java superfluous in most cases. For example it is unnecessary to 
build-depend on it when building a package with GCJ. Moreover it should be 
possible to get rid of libjaxp1.2-java entirely. I'll write up a more 
detailed proposal later.
