[jerico (JIRA)]

Replacing proprietary DTD/XSD with OSI-compliant versions
---------------------------------------------------------

Key: XDT-1700
URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/browse/XDT-1700
Project: XDoclet
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core, EJB Module, JDO Module, JSF Module, Web Module
Affects Versions: 1.2.3
Reporter: jerico
Assignee: xdoclet-devel (Use for new issues)
Priority: Minor


The licensing of the original j2ee dtd/xsd is proprietary. For a similar analysis compare http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2307

I am currently packaging xdoclet for Debian/Ubuntu. We cannot distribute proprietary sources in main/universe. Therefore we plan to replace proprietary DTD/XSD with free versions (where available).

Here's the relevant part of a script that we use to replace proprietary files. We couldn't yet test compatibility of all DTD/XSD so use it with care.
