1) I reproduced the problem with jakarta-avalon xdocs and fixed it. jakarta-avalon-phoenix looks to be be the same problem as jakarta-avalon xdocs, also jakarta-avalon-cornerstone. 2) 2 problems that kept xml-xalan dist from building are fixed. 3) I can't seem to build xml-fop: compile: Compiling the sources [javac] Compiling 133 source files to E:\xml-fop\build\classes [javac] E:\xml-fop\build\src\org\apache\fop\image\ImageArea.java:64: Ambiguo us class: org.apache.fop.layout.InlineArea and org.apache.fop.layout.inline.Inli neArea [javac] public class ImageArea extends InlineArea { [javac] ^ [javac] E: \xml-fop\build\src\org\apache\fop\render\awt\AWTRenderer.java:26: Package org.apache.batik.swing.svg not found in import.

I thought at first the problem might be with having xalan2 on the classpath, but I tried that also, and still can not reproduce the problem. 5) As far as I can tell, the castor failure is not xalan related. 6) All the other failures look to be prereq failures, so we'll have to find out if there's more behind this. -scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
