[jdom-interest] NoSuchMethodError Again!

[Michael Kastner]

Well,

this is about to kill me. I know this has been a topic for quite a while and
it's being described in the JDOM faqs but I just can't solve it.

When I compile the XSLTRansform example from the JDOM-package (b7) I keep
getting this error message (the entire error message is appended at the end
of this message):

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
        at org.apache.xpath.patterns.NodeTest.execute(NodeTest.java:386)
        at
org.apache.xpath.axes.PredicatedNodeTest.acceptNode(PredicatedNodeTes
t.java:388)
        at
org.apache.xpath.axes.ChildTestIterator.nextNode(ChildTestIterator.ja
va:193) ...

etc.

Now, I've removed all the entries from the classpath, which could somehow
disturb the xerces.jar file. So now my classpath looks like this:
c:\tools\jdom-b7\lib\xerces.jar;c:\tools\jdom-b7\build\jdom.jar;c:\tools\jdo
m-b7\lib\xalan.jar;

And yet, I keep getting the NoSuchMethodError. Can anybody help? Does
anybody have the slightest idea, what I could do to solve this problem?

Greeting in despair

Michael Kastner
