I could not get the binary distribution of ant to run.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:262)
at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:107)
I tried other things before looking at the source:
try {
line 262: Class.forName("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory");
ProjectHelper.configureProject(project, buildFile);
I don't have anything in _javax_ except javax.servlet; no .xml.
This does not look like it supports all jaxp-compliant xml parsers.
I have $CLASSPATH pointing to jaxp.jar, parser.jar and xml.jar, which
worked
with an older distribution of Ant.
