Subject: help! xerces version conflicts between ANT and Alexandria

>In our system, you manually check out a "Master Build" system which
contains

>includes -- it provides common functionality).

>Then the master build system is used to checkout the subproject and build

><java classname="org.apache.tools.ant.Main" ...>
>   <classpath>...</classpath>
>   <arg line="-buildfile Alexandria.xml">
></java>

>Problem is that ant 1.3 uses Xerces 1.3.1 and Alexandria uses Xerces

>(both show up as NoClassDefFoundException's).
