Building Xalan-J in Eclipse

[David Bertoni]

Hi Java developers,

Are there any instructions for building and running Xalan-J within
Eclipse?  Perhaps a pre-built .project file is available somewhere?

Thanks!

Dave

The main trick to building Xalan in Eclipse is making sure that Eclipse finds the copy you're trying to build rather than the outdated one provided by the JVM. This can most easily be done by opening the Preferences, going down to Installed JREs, duplicating the entry for your preferred JRE, and removing xml.jar from the list of JRE System Libraries. (I usually change the name to "NEUTERED JRE" so I recognize it.) Then make sure that JRE is either selected as your system default, or as the JRE for the eclipse projects.

Downside: This will probably take out Xerces too; you'll need to explicitly add the Xerces jarfiles (or a project containing the Xerces code) back into the classpath

(There are other ways to do it; this is just the one I'm used to.)
