{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Decide whether to stop excluding xalan and serializer","articleBody":"The `ome:formats-api` and `ome:formats-bsd` and `ome:bio-formats-tools` components have runtime dependencies on `xalan:xalan` and `xalan:serializer`. Right now pom-scijava excludes these dependencies—and also from `org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-bridge` and `org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-dom` and `ch.qos.logback:logback-classic`—for reasons that have been lost in the mists of ~~my brain fog~~time. Downstream, the Fiji project needs to ship these components as part of its distribution so that certain Bio-Formats XML-related functionality works properly; otherwise, there are errors, which have also not been diligently recorded anywhere as far as I can remember.\r\n\r\nSo: once and for all, we should:\r\n\r\n1. Write down here what goes wrong at runtime if xalan and serializer are not present, in which scenarios;\r\n2. Write down here what goes wrong at build time, if anything, if xalan and serializer are unexcluded; and\r\n3. Make a final decision on how to proceed so that both build time and runtime are happy, such that `sc.fiji:fiji` exposes its needed dependencies on xalan and serializer at an appropriate scope, optionally or not as appropriate.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ctrueden","@type":"Person","name":"ctrueden"},"datePublished":"2022-10-31T17:09:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/219/pom-scijava/issues/219"}
