David Crossley commented on FOR-965:
------------------------------------

It sounds like the culprit might be Jing. See main/build.xml line 185.

Also, there is a fixme note there to say that we need to implement a way to 
configure
"validate-config=false" similar to the other ways to switch off certain 
validation targets.

> validation failure with gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0 (works with java-1.5.0-sun)

> The version of Forrest current in version control does not work with 
> gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0 (the GNU Java Compiler). The problem appears to be with XML 
> parsing or validation and almost certainly is inherited from one of the 
> upstream projects (I've not tracked down which, but xerces is a candidate). 
> Error message is:
