Dealing with “Xerces hell” in Java/Maven?

by

There are 2.11.0 JARs (and source JARs!) of Xerces in Maven Central since 20th February 2013! See Xerces in Maven Central. I wonder why they haven’t resolved https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1454…

I’ve used:

<dependency>
    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
    <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
    <version>2.11.0</version>
</dependency>

and all dependencies have resolved fine – even proper xml-apis-1.4.01!

And what’s most important (and what wasn’t obvious in the past) – the JAR in Maven Central is the same JAR as in the official Xerces-J-bin.2.11.0.zip distribution.

I couldn’t however find xml-schema-1.1-beta version – it can’t be a Maven classifier-ed version because of additional dependencies.
