| A great deal of the functionality of what you're trying to
| accomplish I've implemented in Ceryle.
Until Ceryle is released I guess you'll keep seeing people
reimplementing what you've done there... :-)
| But as you indicate, even TM4J is a bit much to download, and the
| number of jar files to support TM4J are even larger than it is (this
| is true of a lot of applications, of course).
That's true. However, I suspect that if you only need the XTM importer
and the in-memory implementation you could get by with just a few
classes plus a small SAX parser (Piccolo or Ælfred2, say).
| I've heavily extended TouchGraph (TG) for use in Ceryle, [...]
Murray, are those extensions available anywhere? I see you've gotten
some patches into TG, but did you push it all back to the project, or
does it live in Ceryle?
| I think Alex is to be commended on creating a very functional
| toolkit, [...]
Absolutely!
| As for some sort of XTM processor, a lightweight one that did most
| of what TM4J does would be very cool, though in looking at TM4J I
| don't know what you could trim, apart from not having the storage
| backends (i.e., doing everything in memory), and perhaps dumping the
| utility classes.
I'd have to agree. You usually can save a lot on .jar size if you try
(compare Ælfred against almost any other XML parser), but still...
