I finally figured out what caused this. I had mentioned clearing out all the plugins, etc. from my ~/.xxe directory. What I never thought of until I tried building xxe from source (to try to debug this further) was that when doing java development for my plugin, I had installed xxe*.jar in ~/Library/Java/Extensions/ . That was the easiest way for XCode to find the symbols for xxe - but at the time I knew it would be trouble when upgrading. I didn't realize it would cause the application to fail, and I had basically forgotten about having done this by the time I was trying to upgrade. I'm sharing in case anyone else ever runs into a problem like this. (Set your CLASSPATH instead! It's way easier in the end!) As always, thanks for a great product! Bill
