Tried ant in the xindice-1.1b4\java\examples directory. Got lots of complaints that the encode(java.lang.String) method for java.net.URLEncoder is deprecated:

Java 1.5 beta with Tomcat 5. Xindice war version installed by just dropping it into the tomcat webapps directory. XINDICE_HOME set to %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps/xindice/WEB-INF. Xindice source unzipped outside the tomcat directory structure, and trying to build the examples in there. (And I'm sure it's not gonna work.) I think I'll archive this monstrosity, back Java down to 1.4, and start over, making sure things build as I go. -- Joel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Why does this OS called MSWindows always make me feel like I'm flying instrument rules?
