The build (build.bat webapp successful right out of the box with no properties tweaks now) created folders with names that I assume were meant to be expanded by ant - for example I have a folder named _literally_ D:\cvs\xml-cocoon2\${build.scratchpad.src}
I have the same for: ${build.scratchpad.dest} ${build.deprecated.src} ${build.deprecated.dest} I also get the error reported earlier - Not allowed to define mixed content in the element cocoon at file:/D:/cvs/xml-cocoon2/build/cocoon-2.1-dev/webapp/WEB-INF/cocoon.xconf:3: 23 I looked over cocoon.xconf and didn't see any problem. Finally, I tried build eclipse-project and got: BUILD FAILED file:///D:/cvs/xml-cocoon2/build.xml:925: Warning: Could not find file D:\cvs\xm l-cocoon2\${resource}\dev\eclipse\classpath-tmpl.xml to copy. Total time: 7 seconds which appears related to the first problem I mentioned above. I need to get to bed, but I'll look into things tomorrow - very excited to dig into the new build file. Environment: JDK 1.4, Win2k, CVS Checkout about 10pm EST (GMT -05:00) Thanks for the hard work on this, Stefano - Geoff Howard
