I downloaded and installed the phoenix release (congratulations). However the following exception occurs
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/ContentHandler at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.components.deployer.DefaultDeployer.<init>(DefaultDeployer.java:47) at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:237) at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.components.embeddor.DefaultEmbeddor.createComponent(DefaultEmbeddor.java:424) at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.components.embeddor.DefaultEmbeddor.createComponents(DefaultEmbeddor.java:246) at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.components.embeddor.DefaultEmbeddor.initialize(DefaultEmbeddor.java:130) at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.frontends.CLIMain.startup(CLIMain.java:128) at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.frontends.CLIMain.execute(CLIMain.java:82) at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.frontends.CLIMain.main(CLIMain.java:64) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at org.apache.avalon.phoenix.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:54) I placed xml.jar and xerces.jar in the classpath and tried again, but got the same result. This was not a problem in the version obtained and built from CVS. I have, previously, removed all xml/xerces references from the classpath and the jre. There are still references on the file system for the Netbeans/forte.jboss installations. Only Netbeans runs on a regular basis, and is currently running. Any hints?
