ant*.jar and dost.jar are needed in order to run the DITA Open Toolkit. They were part of the add-on called "DITA configuration based on the OASIS DTD" and this add-on included a minimal copy of the DITA Open Toolkit.

If you follow the instructions found in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/deploy_webstart.html, deploying XXE v4.5 using deploywebstart works just fine. (I did just that yesterday.) Now I suspect that you have written a script which copies some add-ons to XXE_install_dir/addon/ and and then invokes deploywebstart (or may be you have implemented your own ``deploy web start'' script). If this is the case, please update this script in order to adapt it to XXE v4.5. Some notable differences between XXE v4.4 and XXE v4.5 are: * v4.5 bundles DITA support ==> the add-on called "DITA configuration based on the OASIS DTD" no longer exists. * v4.5 no longer uses the DITA Open Toolkit in order to process DITA documents ==> ant*.jar and dost.jar are no longer useful. More information in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/changes.html. Please take the time to read section "4.5 (September 24, 2009)" of this document before posting further support requests about XXE v4.5.
