Richard,

I would bet good money that Xalan will not compile on GCJ. It

Is anyone interested in trying Xalan in GCJ and seeing if it does work?
We can't consider XSLT-process as a legitimate part of the free
software world if it needs JDK to run. Fixing this ought to be the
highest priority.
You also have to realize XSLT-process depends on open-source software,
but not free-software. Xalan and Saxon are not licensed under L/GPL,
but under their own open-source licenses. JDK is just one part of the
story, the other is composed of Xalan, Saxon, and other XML related
libraries used by XSLT-process which have their own licenses.
XSLT-process can download these non-GPL libraries when it first runs,
to keep the package small and completely free-software. Or if their
license is not a problem, we can just leave things as they are now.
What do you think?
