Re: [xsl] [ANN]: Apache Xerces-J 2.12.1 now available

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've had the same issue with Saxon on Maven. For years we resisted putting
Saxon on Maven, on the grounds that Maven allowed people to download the JAR
files without the accompanying legal notices, which is contrary to the license
conditions imposed by third parties. But other people started putting Saxon up
on Maven, in some cases incorrectly and unsystematically, and so we basically
had no choice but to start doing it ourselves.

https://issues.sonatype.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/MVNCENTRAL-218
<https://issues.sonatype.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/MVNCENTRAL-218> (you
may need to determine the right URL for the Xerces 2.12.1 artifact on the
Maven Central server to tell to Sonatype, than what is suggested on the
preceding example URL I've cited).
