--- Comment #5 from Antoine Levy-Lambert <an...@apache.org> ---
As you found out yourself, you can put the versions of xercesImpl and xml-apis
that you need on the classpath yourself.

There is a need to offer functionality in Ant to add jars to the coreloader at
runtime. I am personally using the classloader task from enitsys in some build
files at work, for instance I use that to add mail.jar and activation.jar to
the classpath of Ant when I want to use the mail task, since I do not want to
add mail.jar and activation.jar under $ANT_HOME/lib.

There is an undocumented classloader task inside Ant since 2002, I wonder how
easily it can be used in this kind of use case.

I will discuss these issues further on the dev mailing list.
