I'm not sure what requirements it has, but I tried 0.8 first and it also didn't work. I vaguely remember the last time around having to pick up a dev version of 0.7 and applying at least one patch to it from SVN. Given that I couldn't get it to build cleanly with 0.7 or 0.8 I have suspicion that the XML Commons site is locked into some unreleased in-development version of Forrest (0.7?) and won't build normally without that. At least I got the pages I needed after turning PDF generation off. Thanks. Michael Glavassevich XML Parser Development IBM Toronto Lab E-mail: mrgla...@ca.ibm.com E-mail: mrgla...@apache.org
