jaxen does not build in some gump instances

[Antoine Lévy-Lambert <an...@antbuild.com>]

Hi,

I am interested in seeing jaxen build in gump.

On some gump instances, the build of jaxen is failing  (see footnotes).

I am an ant developer, and I need jaxen indirectly to get ant 
xdocs/proposal to build.

Let me take a look from your description.

Scott, we already have a version that tries to build jaxen from a
packaged dom4j.  The other way around doesn't work as dom4j doesn't
build against the latest jaxen release, it requires a more recent CVS
version.

This jaxen build doesn't pass either because of some jdom changes, see
[1] - is there anything you could do about it?  If so, the sequence
would be (1) build jaxen from packaged dom4j, build (2) dom4j from this
jaxen, (3) build jaxen - the one everybody is going to use - from (2).

This is correct.  Jaxen and dom4j will not build on Gump since there is 
a circular dependency between the two.  I am a jaxen developer, and 
have been unable to split the jaxen build to accomodate.  All 
communication to the dom4j list has returned nothing, so we are stuck 
with packaged builds.

I don't think Jaxen builds on any Gump instances.

Use packaged-jaxen instead of jaxen.

So am I. I'm told there is a circular dependency with DOM4J & (from folks
who've tried) it needs for code in DOM4J to move to Jaxen, and vice-verse,
in order to get fixed. For some reason the DOM4J/Jaxen communities don't
seem able to make this happen. I really wish this could be fixed, but this
is the third of fourth time I've heard about it w/o seeing any action.
