While migrating a project from java 8 to java 11 using the java module system we noticed two warnings due to used library dom4j (version 2.1.3).
Problem
Situation
As far i can see the developers of dom4j are aware of this problem: https://github.com/dom4j/dom4j/issues/67
Since the issue is over 1 year old, still open, and the last commit to master branch is 7 month old we wan´t to move away from dom4j (sadly, i really liked dom4j) to a newer library. We realy want to use the new module system of Java and don´t want to ignore those warnings.
Question
Could you recommend a "modern" Java-9 module system aware library for xml processing? We use mainly simple stuff like reading/parsing, writing and pretty printing. An Apache-2.0 License would be nice but is not a requirement.
My resaerch currenly revealed https://github.com/FasterXML/aalto-xml which is Apache-2.0 License and seems to contain a Java 9 Module definition. Could you recomment Aalto or any other library for usage with the java module system?
Reproducability
The problem could easily be reproduced using a simple pom.xml including a dependency to
<groupId>org.dom4j</groupId>
<artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
together with mavens build plugin
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<configuration>
<release>11</release>
<encoding>utf-8</encoding>...
and a module-info.java
module dom4jproblem {
exports mypackage;
requires dom4j;
}
