| RE: [eclipse-dev] M1 on OS X (Install Problems) |
This response should probably go through the newsgroup, but.... We're developing several projects in Eclipse that rely on Xerces. Eclipse can co-exist with Xerces just fine, all you have to do is set up the xerces jar files as libraries in your project's build path, within eclipse. Of course removing it from your JDK's extension folder might impact other Java projects or applications you might be running. We keep our supporting jars in a separate location, and configure the classpath for each app individually. It might seem inconvenient, but it buys flexibility and avoids compatibility problems such as this.

After checking the extensions folder, there were three jar files that were there: xercesImel.jar xml-apis.jar xmlParserAPIs.jar I removed those three jar files and Eclipse loaded fine. Unfortunately, this does bring me to a question... I am using Xerces for some of my projects. Will I have to (or should I) change this? Are there problems using Xerces with Eclipse? If there are, or if I should not use Xerces, what parsers are people using with Eclipse? ...okay, three questions. ;-) Thanks, "Bill" On 7/10/03 8:33 AM, "Andre Weinand" <weinand@xxxxxxx> wrote: >> Trying to install Eclipse for the first time.
