Re: Help building today's release of ant...

Erik,

Thank you for the help. Ant builds now! :>

I haven't seen much traffic on docs@jakarta.java.org.

What is the best way to get something like this added to the
ant documentation? 

I looked on Sun's Products and APIs web page,
    http://java.sun.com/products/
and I saw no mention of this XML package.

How would I have found this if you hadn't been kind enough to point
the way? 

Thanks,
Hunter

You can submit a patch to the documentation HTML file that exists in the
docs subdirectory of ant. Sooner or later it would then be integrated into
ant.

That's what this mailing list is for :-).

Ant is a work-in-progress and as such there will, at times, be features
which are not yet documented. The reliance on JAXP is currently one of those
features. (There are others).
