I use ant and it works perfectly (and even better w/ the latest CVS).
It's not a XERCES problem, but a ANT+PROJECTX one. Ant gets shipped with
the default configuration being Project-X (they didn't yet change it!)
and with its own xml.jar containing org.xml.sax and org.w3c.dom.
The problem is that those interfaces are Dom level 1 (while the ones
used by Xerces are DOM level 2), so, depending on wich one gets loaded
first, the second will fail. (If xml.jar is loaded first any application
- like cocoon 2 - depending on dom 2 will not compile, if xerces.jar is
loaded first, the project-x dom builder will not run because its classes
are not implementing the org.w3c.dom interfaces already loaded).
Anywa the problem should be solved having ANT to use JAXP (path I'm
doing right now!)
