--> OK, I now understand that you did it by the book. I've tried to reproduce the problem by (using Java 1.6.0_16 on my Linux box): [1] Installing a fresh XXE v4.5 Pro. [2] Use Options|Preferences, "Install Add-ons" section and select "Install add-ons in XXE installation directory" (in order to deploy *all* installed add-ons using Java Web Start). (While at it, please click the "Reset" button to make sure that you are pointing to the right add-on server.) [3] Use "Options|Install Add-ons" and select and install almost all the available add-ons. [4] Run ./deploywebstart -index. [5] Start XXE using the index.html page displayed in the Web browser. As expected, everything works fine. --> The only idea I have is that's a Java Web Start cache problem (because ant*.jar and dost.jar are really absent, as of v4.5). Please try again after clearing this cache. On Linux, I did that by starting: javaws -viewer & and then by selecting all the appications listed there and finally by clicking the X (Remove selected items) button. --> Or is it a Web browser cache problem? Just to make sure, please also clear the cache of your Web browser.
