problems with POI build

I'm using ANT 1.7 and there is no optional.jars - has anyone worked
through this before?

 

Additionally - I did include all required .JARS per the 'How to Build'
instructions - but I get an error telling me org.apache.xalan does not
exist.  It doesn't exist but I did include it in %ANT_HOME%/lib so I'm
not sure what I need to do.

Then I think the problem may be with Eclipse 3.2.  In Eclipse 3.2 if I
follow the build instructions the ANT build script errors out every time
because the directories it is looking for do not exist.

I manually created the directories but I'm still unable to get past the
error that says org.apache.xalan does not exist.  In my situation I've
had to place a lot of these files manually, but no matter what I do this
still causes problems. 

Could it be the version of xalan that I am pulling down?  I believe the
version was 2.7.

Hi,

I don't quite understand what's wrong with POI. I'm using Ant 1.6.2
and it works fine for me.

POI build.xml is all-sufficient. It downloads the required jars if
they are missing. No intervention in Ant's config is required.

Yegor

I use JDK 1.4.2 and JDK 1.5.

To build POI users need JDK 1.4 or greater. It should be reflected it
the docs somehow.

Compilation under JDK 1.3 fails. I've just tried it and got 68 errors.

Does it concerns you?

It looks like you're having issues with 2.5.1? If so, try with 3.0 RC3, as 
there have been a few updates to the build process since then.

Still having problems building POI

Posted by Levi Strope <ls...@besttransport.com>.
I'm sorry to keep pinging the list with something as rudimentary as this
- but I am having a very hard time getting this to build.

I am following the instructions on the "how to build" page, but I still
get build errors.  Can someone please take a look at the ANT build
dialogue below and give me any insight you might have? I am using ANT
1.7 and I am using Eclipse 3.2.   If anyone has built this with eclipse
is there something special I need to configure?

I made sure to put the xalan JAR file in the ANT lib directory...  but
this still does not like it.
