------------------------------------------

Hi, Jacob, thanks for your statement, but I suppose you've got me wrong. 

I do not(!!) recommend to use saxon8-3 instead of saxon8-1. If saxon8-1 is fine for xmlBeans one is not supposed to change that. 

The only little thing that I'm sure about that is in error is this: 
"build.xml" is looking for "saxon8-1.zip" in its target "check.saxon8.jar" at "http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/saxon/saxon8-1.zip". And this seems to me definitely wrong because I could not find the file at that place and got the information that it does not reside there any longer since Feb-11th!

The downside of this error is that anyone with a virgin machin downloading and building from the source is currently not able to do so. As I did they have to dig into the details of saxon versions to get xmlBeans up and running. I do believe that this is not intended.

I would recommend that the professional in charge of build.xml should take saxon from where it reside.

In appreciation as what has been achieved by xmlBeans

Rolf

> expected: download and building xmlbeans as I've done last time Jan-15th
> happend: build failed while busy with download saxon8-1
> what I've done: manually downloaded saxon8-3 (as 8-1 was not available), copied to build/lib
> happend then: several javac errors
> what I've done next: copied saxon8-1 from January download to build/lib
> success!
> ergo:
> the build.xml does not reflect the changes at http://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/ from Feb-11th
