Re: for what it's worth: xml-apis.jar placement

Hi David,

I assume you are using JDK1.3.x, right?  What version of Ant are you 
using?  You should be using at least version .1.5.x (preferably the latest 
as it fixes a number of bugs in the early versions of 1.5.x).  Now check if 
it has xml-apis.jar and xercesImpl.jar in ANT_HOME/lib.  If it doesn't 
something is odd because those jars should be there since they come with 
the distribution by default.  No need to put anything in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.

Of course if what you have is already what I have recommended above, then 
something is very odd with your environment.  Try removing xml-apis.jar 
from lib/ext and put it, and the latest xercesImpl.jar, in ANT_HOME/lib 
(assuming they aren't already there).

Let me know your results.

Jake
