Have you tried getting a recent build of xerces from http://xml.apache.org/
-----Original Message----- From: Madigan, Brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 August 2000 15:14 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: SAXParserFactory 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.
