#14 buld.xml

I downloaded the latest zip file from SourceForge, extracted it and ran 'ant' under a Linux machine and it failed to build with the error:

<code>
adapters:
[mkdir] Created dir: /data/matt/libs/metadata-extractor/dist/adapters

adapter_build:
[echo] prepare the files for the arc adapter in dir arc_adapter_1_0
[mkdir] Created dir: /data/matt/libs/metadata-extractor/target/adapters/arc_adapter_1_0

BUILD FAILED
/data/matt/libs/metadata-extractor/build.xml:55: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/data/matt/libs/metadata-extractor/build.xml:323: /data/matt/libs/metadata-extractor/src/XML not found.

Total time: 4 seconds
</code>

It is caused by a property set at the start of the build.xml:
<code>
<property name="xml" value="src/XML" />
</code>

It is an easy fix, just lower case the 'XML' part, which is important as file and directory names are case sensitive. Attached is a patch.

P.S. I am one of the developers for the National Archives of Australia, we also develop some opensource projects (xena.sourceforge.net, dpr.sourceforge.net). Xena converts files to open standard files for long term digital preservation, we capture metadata and place them into the resulting xena XML files. I came across your tool, I plan to test it, if it works well and suits our needs then we are interested in adding it into our Xena project. If we do, I look forward to working with you guys. We will let you know of any bugs, plus Xena supports many different file types, so you never know we may be able the help extend your tools supported file set! Cant promise anything as it is early days, but hey isn't that what Open Source is all about ;)

Thanks for all the hard work! I also know how useful feedback is, so will let you know how I go!

Patch to fix the xml property in the build.xml file.
