I just downloaded a new snapshot, and now the build fails with this message:
BUILD FAILED file:C:/cocoon/2.1_20031125111946/cocoon-2.1/build/cocoon-2.1.4-dev/temp/blocks-build.xml:8441: UnknownHostException. Probable cause: The parser is trying to resolve a dtd from the internet and no connection exists. You can either connect to the internet during the build, or patch XConfToolTask.java to ignore DTD declarations when your parser is in use.
My previous snapshot, 2.1_20031120112057, built fine despite the same authenticated proxy-firewalled network. A quick look through XConfToolTask.java did not enlighten me. Any clues how to get the builds working again without requiring a network connection?
I wrote that overly verbose message for just such an occasion as this! The XConfToolTask (in tools/src/anttasks or used to be) was using a parser-specific setting to force it to not resolve dtd references. The line is:
builderFactory.setAttribute( "http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd";,
new Boolean(false));
So, either the latest version of the XML libs committed recently by Antonio (this would be Xerces, no? I can never remember which X is which!) has changed this behavior, or something in the latest changes to support property expansion have broken it.
The first seems way more likely and may be documented at xml.apache.org in release notes. Unfortunately, don't have time to look into it myself.
