Unfortunately, don't have time to look into it myself.
Why would XConfToolTask be trying to go onto the network anyway? What DTD is it trying to get? Oh i see, it is trying to deal with web.xml which points to a DTD at Sun. There is an attempt to use XMLCatalog in XConfToolTask. Perhaps we just need to add some configuration for a local copy. I vaguely recall investigating this before, but i think that i got frightened by Sun's conditions in the DTD license (the "not without written authorisation" thing). --David
