Re: Xerces on JDK 1.5 (on Gump) (fwd)

[Michael Glavassevich]

I'm going to guess this has in part to do with the version of Ant that Gump is using to compile Xerces.  Xerces uses its own Javac task [1] so that it compiles smoothly on JDK 1.4. This code isn't aware of JDK 1.5 (yet) nor is the version of Ant which is distributed among Xerces' build tools.
