[jdom-interest] SAXBuilder Error - Solution

[stevechampeau at mindspring.com]

My thanks to Andre March for suggesting looking at the stack trace. A good idea that I foolishly overlooked. After looking at the trace and poking about, it turned out the problem was that in the classpath of my Ant task definition I had included xerces.jar, which was somehow conflicting with the code that Ant itself had placed in the classpath for its own purposes. Once I removed the xerces.jar reference, it worked fine.

My apologies for what turned out to be an off-topic problem.

Thanks,
Steve C.
