Hello Ted,
we are using precompiled ANT distributive with Xerces without any problems. The only
thing we changed - bat file. In our environment ant.jar is copied into a different
directory and BUILD.BAT file sets classpath to have all required libraries manually.
like:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -classpath
Runtime/ThirdParty/lib/ant.jar;Runtime/ThirdParty/lib/xerces.jar;Runtime/ThirdParty/lib/xalan.jar;%JAVA_HOME%/lib/tools.jar
-Dant.home=Runtime/ThirdParty/lib org.apache.tools.ant.Main %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Sincerely,
Alexey N. Solofnenko.
