Gary, I'd suggest you download the candiate with a subversion client. On the command line it would be this: svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/java/tags/xalan-j_2_7_1 and it will be extracted into the directory xalan-j_2_7_1 on your machine (relative to where you issued that command).
With a java compiler setup on the path you should be able to go into that directory (xalan-j_2_7_1) and issue these commands: build xsltc.jar build serialier.jar build You should find in the xalan-j_2_7_1/build directory the following jar files: xsltc.jar serializer.jar xalan.jar Put them on your classpath. Though if you are using JRE 1.4 or up you will want to put them in an endorsed directory to over-ride the fact that these classes are probably in the JRE. - Brian Gary Gregory <[EMAIL PROTECTED] software.com> To Brian Minchau/Toronto/[EMAIL PROTECTED], 09/25/2007 07:39 "xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org" PM <xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org> cc Subject RE: Regression tests about to start on Apache Xalan-J 2.7.1 Hello All: Where can I download a nightly build or release candidate for Xalan-J 2.7.1? I urgently need to test the fix for http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2371 in our test bed. Thank You, Gary Gregory Seagull Software -- >From Brian Minchau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject Regression tests about to start on Apache Xalan-J 2.7.1 Date Fri, 21 Sep 2007 22:12:07 GMT The code for the Apache Xalan-J 2.7.1 release is now frozen. It is in subversion at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/as/xalan/java/tags/xalan-j_2_7_1 The last minute JIRA issues that got fixed and made it in were: XALANJ-2206 XALANJ-2395 XALANJ-1243 Yash Talwar has volunteered to do the regression testing, possibly over this weekend (THANKS YASH!) Assuming all goes well we can update the mirrors sites with the release, and update the website. Keep your fingers crossed. - Brian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Brian Minchau, Apache Xalan PMC Member e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
