<s2 title='Unpacking the Files'>
<p>
&ParserName; is packaged as a ZIP file for all platforms
and operating systems. The parser release is also packaged
as Tar GZip files as a convenience for UNIX users. You can
extract the ZIP files using the Java <ref>jar</ref> command
to unpack the distribution.
</p>
<source>jar xf &ParserName;-bin.&parserversion;.zip
jar xf &ParserName;-src.&parserversion;.zip
jar xf &ParserName;-tools.&parserversion;.zip</source>
<p>
All of these commands create a sub-directory called
"&parserdir;" in the current directory, except for the command to unpack
the "tools" distribution, since you may install this anywhere you like.
</p>

<note>
To use &ParserName; you do not need the source files.
However, if you want to recompile the sources you need to
download the source package and have the contents of the tools
package (or equivalent) available.
</note>
<note>
xerces.jar is no longer available in the main distribution. You can still
download this jar from deprecated distribution. xerces.jar is a Jar file
that contains all the parser class files (i.e., it contains
the intersection of the contents of xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar).

<note>
In order to compile the source code using Ant or to build the
release distributions yourself, you must have the contents of
<code>&ParserName;-tools.&parserversion;.zip</code>
on your classpath; i.e., you will need access to a version of Ant,
Xalan, StyleBook and an XML parser such as Xerces.
For ease of use, we recommend extracting
<code>&ParserName;-tools.&parserversion;.zip</code>
in your Xerces root directory; the build.sh and build.bat scripts
are written for this case.
</note>
</s2>
<s2 title='Changes in Xerces jar files'>
<p>In order to accomodate the very common case in which Xerces is
used with an XSLT processor such as Xalan, between Xerces 2.0.0 beta 3
and beta 4 a change in the default organization of Xerces' jar
files was introduced. As well as the <code>xercesSamples.jar</code>
file, which we still produce, Xerces formerly came with a file called
<code>xerces.jar</code>. This file contained all of the
parser's functionality. Two files are now included:
<code>xercesImpl.jar</code>, our implementation of various APIs,
and <code>xml-apis.jar</code>, the APIs themselves. This
was done so that, if your XSLT processor ships with APIs at the
same level as those supported by &ParserName;, you can avoid putting
<code>xml-apis.jar</code> on your classpath.</p>
<p>Should you wish to use the <code>xerces.jar</code> instead, we have
included several Ant targets for backward compatibility. An
"Ant target" is an argument given to Ant, our build tool,
that tells it which portions of the <code>build.xml</code> file to
apply.
</p>
<p>
If you are on a Windows system and you wish to get only the
xerces.jar file, you would execute <code>build.bat
deprecatedjars</code>.
</p>
<p>
If you want to regenerate new versions of the Xerces
binary, source and tools distributions with the old-style jarfiles,
you would execute <code>build.bat deprecatedall</code>.
The situation is
analogous for Unix users, except that <code>build.sh</code> would be
used instead of <code>build.bat</code>.
</p>
<p>
For further information and
more options, please look inside build.xml itself; all possibilities
are documented there.
</p>
</s2>
<s2 title="Verifying signatures">
<p>In order to provide security-conscious users with the best
possible assurance that the Xerces distribution they have
downloaded is official, "signatures" are provided for all 6
Xerces packages produced in each release. A signature is
produced with cryptographic software (such as <jump
href="http://www.pgp.com">PGP</jump> or <jump
href="http://www.gnupg.org">GNUPG</jump>). The cryptographic
software is used to apply an algorithm that uses the secret
"key" of a Xerces committer to generate a unique file from
each Xerces distribution. The Xerces committer then makes a
"public" key available, which the user can use, in
conjunction with the downloaded distribution and the
accompanying signature, to verify that the distribution was
actually produced by that committer.
</p>
<p>In order to verify the legitimacy of Xerces distributions
you download, these steps should be followed:</p>
<ol>
<li>
Get a copy of PGP or GNUPG from the above URL's.
</li>
<li>
Obtain the signature of the Xerces package you wish
to verify. For instance, if you want to verify the
legitimacy of Xerces-bin.x.y.z.tar.gz, download the
Xerces-bin.x.y.z.tar.gz.asc file from the same
location as the original file was obtained.
</li>
<li>
Obtain a copy of the public key of the Xerces
committer. While most committers have posted their
keys to public "key servers", probably the easiest
place to get them from is SVN. The public keys of
all Xerces committers who post releases are available
from the file called <code>KEYS</code> located in the
root directory of the <code>http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/java/trunk/</code>
repository.
</li>
<li>
Add these keys to your "public" keyring. In GNUPG,
you'd do this with a command like <code>gpg --import
KEYS</code>.
</li>
<li>
Issue the command for verifying signatures
appropriate for the cryptographic software you've
chosen. For GNUPG, this would be
<code>gpg --verify Xerces-J-foo.x.y.z.ext.asc
Xerces-J-foo.x.y.z.ext</code>.
</li>
</ol>
<p>Note that, in general, it won't be necessary to acquire new copies
of public keys to verify signatures for each Xerces release.
This will only be necessary if a new Xerces committer has
published the release.
</p>
