I can't comment on the compatibility of EPL and ASL2, but both of them
are incompatible with the GPL.
> What would you recommand to do in this case?
Either use GPL-compatible libraries which accomplish the same thing, or
add exceptions to the GPL and get exceptions from the copyright holders
of SWT and Xalan.

CCs retained.
