ANT Script Fails in and only in Eclipse [message #114784]

ANT script fails when run from Eclipse ANT view window. The same ANT script
runs without incident from the command line. The xercesImpl.jar is part of
the project library path but then the ANT script has its own classpath so
that is a moot point. Any ideas?

Option 1: Set Eclipse Ant Classpath:

The first option to running Ant in the same VM removes the Ant JAR files
from the default Ant configuration inside Eclipse and adds Ant 1.5.3-1
related JAR files to the classpath that Eclipse uses for running Ant. It
then removes the XML-related JAR files from the Ant 1.5.3-1 distribution to
avoid a version conflict with Xerces Based XML Parser plugin.

1. Start Eclipse

2. Click Window > Preferences and expand Ant

3. Select Runtime to show the Classpath tab

4. Remove jars ant.jar, optional.jar

5.. Add jars ant.jar and optional.jar from C:\ apache-ant-1.5.3-1\lib
6. Click the Apply button and OK when finished.

If you set the classpath correctly then your Ant Preferences will look like
the following:

Notes: After setting the classpath, you must remove the XML related
xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar from c:\apache-ant-1.5.3-1\lib; otherwise
when you run Ant from within Eclipse you will get an error such as the
following:

Buildfile: C:\eclipse\workspace\bean-managed\build.xml
