Saxon

As a Java developer, I download Saxon-HE binaries as a dependency via the Maven repository. For debugging the SAXON source code will be downloaded as well and usually, I am able to build a project with the provided pom.xml at Maven.

Unfortunately, the Maven Source Code of HE 10.3, 10.5 and 10.6 do not compile!

The fix of 10.3 was tiny: https://github.com/svanteschubert/Saxon-HE-enhanced-accuracy/commit/616453e0c484ce8a92dc4127c219a9fb751c85df

The fix of 10.5 was easy: https://github.com/svanteschubert/Saxon-HE-enhanced-accuracy/commit/279ab0f7a0ba2c26dc7b37d20d214fa4c7d3b13c

The fix of 10.6 is impossible as barely source code is being provided in the JAR:

• https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/saxon/Saxon-HE/10.6/Saxon-HE-10.6-sources.jar <- 0.9 MB
• https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/saxon/Saxon-HE/10.5/Saxon-HE-10.5-sources.jar <- 5.1 MB

The fix for the pom.xml may look like the following: A working pom.xml for 10.3 may look like this: https://github.com/svanteschubert/Saxon-HE-enhanced-accuracy/blob/Saxon-HE-v10.3/pom.xml For 10.5 like this: https://github.com/svanteschubert/Saxon-HE-enhanced-accuracy/blob/Saxon-HE-v10.5/pom.xml

Please node that the library you are likely using:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>jline</groupId>
      <artifactId>jline</artifactId>
      <version>2.14.6</version>
      <optional>true</optional>

has a new group-id and is continued as:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>**org.**jline</groupId>
        <artifactId>jline</artifactId>
        <version>3.21.0</version>
        <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>

but the latter/newest one is not compiling with your sources. see https://github.com/svanteschubert/Saxon-HE-enhanced-accuracy/blob/Saxon-HE-v10.3/pom.xml#L128

I have just improved my tooling to combine your Maven artefacts (bin/jar/pom) to create a buildable version on a branch and I am constantly rebasing my changes on top of them (as decimal-based floating-point IEEE 754 (since 2008) is not allowed by XSL 1.1 (2007 ). Even have an automated script. you may reuse parts for your testing: https://github.com/svanteschubert/Saxon-HE-enhanced-accuracy/blob/accuracy-feature/saxon-update.sh

But just after finishing my work today, I have realized your new Git repo. Have not identified the 10.6 sources of the Maven bundle and it does not fix the Maven Source/pom problem at the Maven repo. I very much do like your signing of Java Source files of the Maven Saxon-HE source JAR with signed hashes in the META-INF of the JAR, but if the classes are not buildable they are surely not the ones that I am running, right?

Looking forward to meeting you all again in Prag (in some future...)

Happy New Yeary especially to the Saxon team! Svante
