Thanks for your response, Hussein. The sample is working now. I rebuilt the samples using ant from the command line. I had been running ant from within eclipse before.

The names of the classes are: com.xmlmind.xmledit.stylesheet.StyleSpecsBase, com.xmlmind.xmledit.styledview.ComponentFactory, etc. I've tried to reproduce your problem by doing this: [1] cd samples/email [2] ant [3] cp -r email_config/ ~/.xxe4/addon/ [4] Start XMLmind XML Editor v4.2.1 [5] Use File|New to create a new email document. [6] Use File|Open to open samples/email/tests/in/sample.email And, as expected, everything works fine. See attached screenshot. I don't think your problem is related to the edition of XMLmind XML Editor or to your platform or to your Java runtime. In fact, I've never seen or heard about a problem like this: classes which compile OK, but loose their qualified names when they are actually used.
