problem with dist/jar

2003-03-19 - By Justin Thomas

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone can help me out with a really annoying problem.

I have got an application which uses saxon and xerces for xml/xslt but when
I build the project using ANT it always tries to go and use xalan and
criminson! I don't make any changes to the src and if I build my app
without using ANT it works fine. I assume ANT must be doing something
regarding class paths?

How can I distribute my program in a jar file with the correct xerces and
saxon jar files? I have the following files in my lib dir xercesImpl.jar
xmlParserAPIs.jar saxon.jar which you can see are included in my own jar
file. I don't think this is right though because it still tries to use
xalan.

Can anyone shed any light on this problem or explain how I distribute my jar
file with those additional jars so it's more standalone?

Thanks in advance
