Hi, With reference to my earlier post, I'm still trying to get Xerces-J working in dot net (I want to start a new project with standard DOM XML tools). I'm not a java developer so am out of my depth here, but i think that my problem is that I need to re-build Xerces to include the external classes such as those found in org.w3c.dom etc. Is this possible? I can see that these classes exist in the src.zip file included with jdk1.5.0_10 .
But before I can even look at this, I am unable to get the build to run on my windows XP machine. Looking at the build.bat file, there is no classes.zip file anywhere to be found on my machine, but i have made sure that all of the other paths have the required file in them. LOCALCLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar; %JAVA_HOME%\lib\classes.zip; .\tools\ant.jar; .\tools\ant-nodeps.jar; .\tools\xercesImpl.jar; .\tools\xml-apis.jar; .\tools\bin\xjavac.jar When i run the batch file i get: =============== Xerces-Java Build System ------------------------ Building with ant classpath C:\Java\jre1.5.0_10\lib\tools.jar;C:\Java\jre1.5.0_1 0\lib\classes.zip;.\tools\ant.jar;.\tools\ant-nodeps.jar ;.\tools\xercesImpl.jar; .\tools\xml-apis.jar;.\tools\bin\xjavac.jar Starting Ant... Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/ Main H:\Tools\Apache\Xerces\xerces-2_9_0>pause Press any key to continue . . . ================ Any help would be appreciated.
