Hi 1) In the build.xml there is some notes about optional components. Are these required to be in every developers machine? I needed to add mailapi.jar to the lib directory to get it compiling. But it is supposed to be an optional component. Am I missing something ?
2) I tried running "ant clean all-tests" after adding mailapi.jar to the lib directory. I end up getting stuck at running the tests.saaj.PackageTests. I get a UnsupportedDataTypeException from JAF. Again is there somethign possibly wrong with my environment. 3) I use JDK 1.4 for development. Is that ok or does Axis mandate a JDK 1.3.1 ? 4. THe developer's guide requires xerces to be present. Since I use JDK 1.4 I already have a JAXP compliant parser. Is that good enough ? ( I have read in one of the threads that xerces is preferred ). Thanx for taking a look at this and hoping to hear soon :-) Vidyanand.
