Excerpt from the Forrest XML catalog (i.e. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-forrest/src/resources/schema/catalog.xcat?rev=1.9&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <!-- OASIS XML Catalog for Forrest --> <!-- FIXME: The parser used by Ant chokes on this. <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> --> <catalog> . . . </catalog> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plain <catalog> is *not* the name of the catalog element being expected by resolver.jar!!! (<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> and <catalog> are totally different element names.) Uncomment out <!--FIXME-->, comment out ``plain'' <catalog>, and everything should work fine. Note that an XML catalog similar to yours is bundled with XXE. See <XXE_distrib_dir>/config/catalog.xml. The right thing to do is not to modify it, but rather to add your own catalog to the list by using Options|Options... Open Tab. PS: When you do this kind of manipulation, do not forget to disable or clear the DTD/XML-Schema cache (Options|Options... Open Tab) or you'll not be able to see the effect of what you've modified on XXE.
