newbie troubles

[Vladimir Georgiev <Vl...@bioanalyte.com>]

Hi,

I just downloaded the source distro of Batik 1.5
I'm on Debian 3.0 and build.sh svgbrowser works fine.
The resulting batik works great.

I have the SVGApplication.java file (courtesy
of http://xml.apache.org/batik/javaScripting.html)
in the sources directory of batik, i.e. xml-batik/sources/

It compiles fine. I execute it with:

java -cp ../resources/:../lib/:. SVGApplication

And I get an SVG Error pop-up that says:

SAX2 driver class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser not found

java.io.IOException: SAX2 driver class 
org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser not found
    at 
org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXDocumentFactory.createDocument(SAXDocumentFactory.java:379)

org.apache.batik.bridge.DocumentLoader.loadDocument(DocumentLoader.java:96)
    at 
org.apache.batik.swing.svg.SVGDocumentLoader.run(SVGDocumentLoader.java:82)

I have a strong suspicion that there exists an easy fix for this that is 
going to make me feel even more like a newbie,
but I will be very grateful to be made feel like that if the fix works.

Has anyone had this problem before?
Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks.

It worked!
Ant is high on my list of things to look into.
Thanks again.

   You need to have the jar files in lib explicitly on the path.
I've attached a small shell script you can run from the top level of batik
and provide a class name and args.  I would suggest getting comfortable with
something like Ant or Eclipse as typing the java command line by hand is
a mind boggling waste of time :)

   As a UNIX guy you will probably prefer Ant with it's text based config file
(it's really simple and very powerful).  However if you like IDE's eclipse can
be nice.
