Right - It is not surprising it falls over - I am surprised it run at all -
you currently have

/hfx/home/develop/srtre/ss/jakarta-ant-1.3/lib/jaxp.jar
/hfx/home/develop/srtre/ss/jakarta-ant-1.3/lib/parser.jar
/hfx/home/develop/ssbuild/superstructure/lib/xml4j.jar

in your classpath. Adding yet another parser in in bound to be painful. And
this is assuming your ext dirs are clean aswell. Which is why I said

Thus I recomend you do

mv xerces.jar /hfx/home/develop/srtre/ss/jakarta-ant-1.3/lib/
rm /hfx/home/develop/srtre/ss/jakarta-ant-1.3/lib/jaxp.jar
rm /hfx/home/develop/srtre/ss/jakarta-ant-1.3/lib/parser.jar

and also consider deleting xml4j.jar aswell. If you can't delete that then
you will need to go read the docs on javac and look at how to get rid of
that (hint look for attributes ignore*Runtime).

Cheers,

Pete
