xercesImpl indecision
---------------------
Key: GEOS-4685
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4685
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Global
Affects Versions: 2.1.1
Reporter: Ian Schneider
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Various versions of xercesImpl are referenced by poms in projects. This breaks things when running local (single) tests in maven and more importantly, Netbeans which uses maven.
Geotools is using 2.7.1. Unless there is a specific problem or need, this seems to be a reasonable choice.
I changed the top-level to 2.7.1 and everything seems to work. I also tested excel by forcing it to use 2.7.1. The main issue encountered w/ 2.4 being present is the infamous 'java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl.getXmlStandalone()Z' error.
