Hallo Arthur. Es ist vollig Wurst, wo und wie Du xerces installiert hast. Es muß in CLASSPATH stehen. Und zwar die JAR-Achive und nicht nur das Verzeichnis, wo Xerces.jar liegt. (Dies gilt für jede Library in JAVA und nicht nur für Xerces).
Also wenn xervces.jar in c:\jar\xerces.jar liegt, dann javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%;c:\jar\xerces.jar test.java Grüß David "Arthur" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] An: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .de> Kopie: Thema: Newbie in Java and XML 18.09.01 12:11 Bitte antworten an xerces-dev Hi! I'm a newbie in XML and have only a little experience in Java. I have JDK under Windows Me and recently tried to install the Xerces parser. When I try to compile a Java Programm, that reads an XML-Document (the Java Programm is from a tutorial) with "javac test.java" I get plenty of errors. It compiles with: "javac -classpath c:\xerces\xerces.jar test.java", but it still doesn't run with "java -classpath c:\xerces\xerces.jar test" instead there is a Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test. I guess I have not installed the Xerces parser properly / in what JDK directory should I install it? thanks for your help
