Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Problems with ANT and DocBook

[Carlos Araya <carlos@cvc.edu>]

More information:

If you're having problems with the XML parser that comes with    jdk1.4.X,
look at Sun's Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/standards/). This is apparently a
compatibility problem between Ant and the XML parser shipped with the JDK.

IF you follow the instructions in the page mentioned above, it should fix
Ant for use with 1.4.X
