The problem you're showing (LinkageError) is most likely due to one classloader attempting to load a class that its parent classloader already loaded. It's a failure on the custom loader's part to delegate to its parent properly. In this case, the Xalan class and Ant itself both tried to load the commonly used org.xml.sax.InputSource class (Ant loaded it first, in order to process the build.xml).
The solution I would recommend is to use fork="true" in your java task. Scott Stirling Framingham, MA > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher R.
