Build with Harmony WAS: Xerces-J compilation error

["Nathan Beyer"]

I'm attempting to run the build scripts with Harmony. What's the expected building convention? What JDK is normally used, is the build.bat/sh script used, or is Ant invoked directly? What version of Ant is known to work.

In looking at the build.bat script, it seems like it won't work for Sun's JDK 6, as there isn't a 'classes.zip' in the JDK_HOME/lib folder.

Thanks for the notice about the JAXP update. Will Xerces start compiling at a higher source or target level as well? Isn't the code still at 1.3 source/target level? What about library level?

Hi Nathan,

Out of curiousity does Xerces Ant build work with Harmony? I've never downloaded a build before so haven't tried it myself.

Also an FYI for the Harmony community ... Xerces-J 2.9.1 is the final release that would be at the Java 5 level (JAXP 1.3). We recently updated to the JAXP 1.4 APIs on the trunk. This is the JAXP level in Java 6.

Thanks.
