#18 Xerces, JDK 1.3.1 and Eclipse 2.0.2
Hi,
I downloaded the source to AntView 2.2.8 because it
kept throwing errors when I'd try to start it from the latest
Eclipse -- Nov. 7 integration build of the 2.0.2 line.
In the source, I found one JDK 1.4 API-ism in
com.r2tech.eclipse.antview.views.AntViewContentProvide
r, where you're using the new String.split() method. This
won't compile or run under JDK 1.3.x. If you're
interested in a cross-version fix, the simplest thing was
to use a StringTokenizer:
// SMS - simple fix to compile under 1.3.1
// String targets[] = targetsPref.split(SEP_REC);
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer
(targetsPref, SEP_REC);
int size = tokenizer.countTokens();
String targets[] = new String[size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
targets[i] = tokenizer.nextToken();
}
Another thing was compiling against this latest rev of
Eclipse required some classpath changes. I actually
added an "eclipse.home" property to the build.xml and
used sed to replace all the occurrences of "../../" in the
classpath with "${eclipse.home}" and then I upped all
the minor version numbers of plugins that needed to be
tweaked. I'll paste it here. Hopefully it can be copied
and pasted if you want to use it.

Finally, "out of the box" I was having XML API and
parser classpath and NoClassDefFoundErrors like so:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/xml/sax/SAXParseException
at
com.r2tech.eclipse.antview.views.AntView.createPartCon
trol(AntView.java:66)
To fix this I added <import plugin="org.apache.xerces"/>
to the <requires> element.
modified build file for Eclipse 2.0.2 libs

After seeing the pasted classpath formatting above, I figured I
better just attach the file.

Sorry, last thing -- I should have said:
To fix this I added <import plugin="org.apache.xerces"/>
to the <requires> element of the plugin.xml

Added import statement to Release 2.2.9
