After a further try, I have confirmed that my original solution did not work. I also find an interesting fact that if you try to run the build script another two times after the first failure, then at the third run the build will be successfully. My original success has nothing to do with the classpath setting. It is just because I happened to hit the third run.

Neil,
You can append the Xalan source root to the classpath before doing a build.
I just tested that this works under the Sun JDK 1.4.0.
> set classpath=%classpath%;c:\xml-xalan\java\src
> build
I think we should make this change into the build script so that it can
work with any JDK version.

Please respond to
xalan-dev
Hi all,
I've looked around the list archives a bit, but can't readily find an
answer to this. Is there a reliable way to get modern versions of Xalan to
compile under JDK 1.4.x?
The only way I've found so far is to carefully set javac's bootclasspath to
include all jars important to the JDK but exclude the jar containing Xalan;
but since jars are laid out in a vendor-dependent way, it's not
obvious to me that it would be easy to code a clean and portable solution
on these lines. I've also played with things like this:
javac -J-Xbootclasspath/p:modern_xalan_dir modern_xalan_files
but this still doesn't seem to permit classes to be prepended to the
cootclasspath that javac's using.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Neil
