com.sun.xml.tree.* build problem with Cocoon-1.7.2

[Steven Maring <St...@trcinc.com>]

I have been getting the following build error with the "out-of-the-box"
build script with Cocoon-1.7.2:

/usr/local/cocoon-1.7.2/build/src/org/apache/cocoon/parser/SunXMLParser.java
:6: Package com.sun.xml.tree not found in import.
import com.sun.xml.tree.*;


The obvious solution is to get the package and put it in the classpath.
Well, I tried both the xml.jar that comes with Ant and the parser.jar that
comes with jaxp1.0 and both of them throw this on build:

/usr/local/cocoon-1.7.2/build/src/org/apache/cocoon/parser/SunXMLParser.java
:44: class com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument is an abstract class. It can't be
instantiated.
        return new XmlDocument();
               ^

Where can I find a version of this package that SunXMLParser will like?  Or
is there another solution?

I believe this might happen, if you had jaxp1.0 packages such as parser.jar etc.
in your classpath while building Cocoon-1.7.2.  So, make sure you don't have any
jaxp1.0 stuff in your classpath and make a clean build.  I might suggest
deleting build sub-directory of xml-coocon branch, if that sub-directory is
already created.

Hope this helps.
