Re: [dom4j-dev] missing class in distribution : org.antlr.DefaultFileLineFormatter

[James Strachan]

Agreed. Hopefully really soon we'll be moving to using the saxpath project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/saxpath) which will avoid the use of Antlr as the parser of XPath expressions and we'll have a smaller and faster code base and better exceptions if bad XPath expressions are used.   The detail of this problem is that right now Antlr has a fiddley way of seperating runtime from build time classes. It looks like the Antlr build process missed one out. I'll have a look at fixing this real soon now.   James ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Skells (ebizz-consulting) To: 'Dom4j-Dev Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 9:38 AM Subject: [dom4j-dev] missing class in distribution : org.antlr.DefaultFileLineFormatter When a bad XPath expression is used then the error cannot be reported.
