since top posting seems to be the preference here... please note that my efforts to build source tree ensued only after failure with the precompiled jetspeed.war (1.4b1, i believe) hope i didn't infer that jetspeed itself was slacking. i think this is more of a java, rather than jetspeed, thing. my experience thus far has been little to no help from more than one source approached in an effort to track this down. seems like there are all these parts and nobody really knows how they are supposed to play together, just that they do in a perfect world. when the world is less than perfect the default seems to be pointing the finger elsewhere and saying it's not my issue...
shooting from the hip a bit here, as i've not been into java long enough to be forming firm imperssions, but am rather reporting my initial perceptions thus far. ymmv... and i'm not trolling for a my language is better than yours flame war. i'd just like to figure the damn thing out. that i'm having a classpath issue has definitley occured to me, but my classpath is set in my shell environment, and is apparenly inherited during the build. so how do i track the problem further?? the fbsd crimson port used to install jaxp.jar in /usr/local/share/java/classes, but does so no longer, as install advises thusly: The following jar file has been installed: /usr/local/share/java/classes/crimson.jar Add it to your CLASSPATH to use JAXP. NOTE: If you used previous versions of crimson, please note that there is now only one jar file, crimson.jar. You should remove the old port and any references to the jaxp.jar to avoid confusion. thus ant apparently becomes broken since it relies on crimson as dependncy... so am i supposed to remove all reference to jaxp.jar in the source?? (i'm being facetious here....)
