The latest README file, thats available on xalan-java repos at https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=xalan-java.git;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=refs/heads/xalan-j_2_7_1_maint (and also at the location xalan-j_2_7_3-src.zip -> xalan-j_2_7_3) has this clarification. The following are the relevant paragraphs mentioned within latest README file, that clarify these points, The details mentioned within this file, may also be used, by XalanJ source distribution users to build and test XalanJ from the source distribution (except that, "git clone" steps as mentioned within this file, shall not be required to be run by XalanJ source distribution users). and, (2) Steps to run the XalanJ tests, on XalanJ implementation 1) Go to the XalanJ tests repos's, local git clone folder: cd ..\xalan-test For XalanJ source distribution users, xalan-test folder, is located at the root of the XalanJ source distribution folder (i.e, parallel to folders "src", "tools" etc) from where XalanJ source distribution users may run XalanJ tests. > - Download and unzip > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/xalan/j/2.7.3/RC7/xalan-j_2_7_3-src.zip > - cd xalan-j_2_7_3 > - build clean fulldist > - cd xalan-test > - build clean jar FAILS with: > > build beginning... > Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.tools.ant.Main > build completed! > Running "build clean jar" fails and ANT_HOME has been updated to > "..\xalan-java" Within the folder xalan-test, of the src distribution, We need to replace set ANT_HOME=..\xalan-java (that's there, for users of the XalanJ repos) with set ANT_HOME=.. and then xalan-test build from src distribution shall find ant run-time and shall work. It's also advisable to set environment variable JARDIR and store jar files within it, as mentioned within the XalanJ README file. Please let us know, whether above mentioned clarifications work fine. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@xalan.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@xalan.apache.org
