Unix or Windows?

Latest code in CVS or beta6?

Do you have any special classes in a system dir (see the FAQ for details
on this)?

JDOM definitely works with JDK 1.2.2.  I expect the problem is that Ant
needs to parse XML to build and it's finding one of the JDOM XML parser
JARs and is getting confused.  It works fine for me, so it may be
something different about your system.  The answers above will help
resolve it.
