In response to Jake's questions:
Within the application itself we are accessing the Xerces classes directly.
The JDK we are using in this instance is JDK1.3.16. The command I'm using
and the error are below...
D:\SmwData\Downloads\xerces-2_9_0>ant deprecatedjar
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
D:\SmwData\Downloads\xerces-2_9_0\build.xml:42: taskdef class
org.apache.xerces.
util.XJavac cannot be found
Total time: 0 seconds
D:\SmwData\Downloads\xerces-2_9_0>
As you can see the problem is in trying to build the single xerces.jar file,
not in the application (at least right now thats where I'm stuck). I
downloaded the bin jar, the source jar, and the tools jar. I unzipped each
file into their own directory, then combined all of the files into the
single directory calles xerces-2_9_0. That directory does contain the
xjavac.jar file.
The actual directions from the xerces site seem to indicate that simply
unzipping the three different zip files (using the jar xf.... command - jar
xf Xerces-J-bin.2.9.0.zip as an example) will unzip each of the jar files
into the single directory xerces-2_9_0. When I tried this is did that, but
because some of the jar files contain similar directory or folder names
things were being overwritten. So I unzipped them into their own
directories, then manually combined everything together to retain all the
various pieces of information.
This is the piece of the install instructions that I'm trying to get through
and not having success...
If you are on a Windows system and you wish to get only the xerces.jar file,
you would execute build.bat deprecatedjars.
If I use that precise command (the build.bat deprecatedjars command) I get
the following...
D:\SmwData\Downloads\xerces-2_9_0>build.bat deprecatedjars

I don't know if this makes more sense than my original message or if this
just confuses things, but if anyone has done this and can get me pointed in
the right direction I'd appreciate it.
thanks

Are you accessing Xerces classes directly or via JAXP? What JDK are you
using? What errors do you get?
