Are you using the latest version of Alexandria out of CVS? -----Original Message----- From: Colin Peart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 31 May 2001 19:47 Subject: help! xerces version conflicts between ANT and Alexandria >I am having some trouble using Alexandria in an odd situation. >I can't find any way to solve it, so I was hoping someone >here might have a moment to think about it. >(for future reference, is there a archive of this list?) > >At any rate, here goes: > >We use an ant based system to check out and compile a large number of sub >projects.
