I've been using Ant (all versions starting way before Ant 1.1) on Linux without problems (Blackdown's, Sun's and IBM's JDKs) but have never seen anything as scary as your exceptions. The main differences: I compile Ant myself and I use Sun's reference implementation of the JAXP parser instead of xerces. I'd suggest you first try to use the other XML parser as the exception is coming from somewhere deep inside xerces. Go to <URL:http://java.sun.com/xml/download.html> grab the reference implementation and replace xerces.jar with parser.jar and jaxp.jar in your CLASSPATH and try again. If that fails, download the sources to Ant and bootstrap it yourself. If this fails as well, come back here 8^) (feel free to come back anyway of course). Stefan PS: My first guess has been that your buildfile would not be well formed, but it's OK. What are you trying to do with the filtering attribute to <javac>? The documentation is a little bit misleading, javac will only do filter replacement on the "support files", not inside the sources themselves. In Ant 1.2 even this won't work - as javac doesn't copy anything anymore.
