yes ... but it's not true ... :)
I use the following jars :
- stylebook-1.0-b3_xalan-2.jar
- xerces 1.3.0
- xalan 2.0.x
and everything works fine !
Sorry Craig ... For the moment I prefer Stylebook to others because it has
some nice DTDs (and associated XSLs) for handling Changes, Todo, FAQ which
Anakia does not seem to have. I actually tried to use Anakia when I moved
J2EEUnit to Cactus but it would have taken too much time so I stopped. I
don't want to start a flame war here ... I'll align with whatever decision
is taken on that subject with a little from guys who know how the new
solution works ...
Thanks
Vincent
