I'm currently writing a java project and I want to read in XML files and if possible receive XML-RPC calls etc.... But I don't know how to install Ant/Xerces/JWDSP completely. I tried it serveral times and got different errors, some packages were completely installed and some not. But it seems that I have a xerces/dom/xalan .jar and a xml-rpc.jar on my harddisk but if I want to use them in ProjectBuilder I get this error message when I want to start the application : "java.lang.NoClassDefFound for class SAXException". Is here anybode who has a working Xerces Java package and maybe even an Apache XML-RPC package ? It would be great if anybode could give me instructions how to install these packages on os x.

Use /Library/Java/Extensions to place additional classes into your Java CLASSPATH. Put xerces.jar in there and you should be able to code against it on your machine. In order to use the Java Web Services Developer's Kit from Sun, you really have to read the small print. Since you need Tomcat to publish your web service(s), make sure you can get Tomcat up-and-running first. A couple of resources to check out:

Java Development on Mac OS X

Apache AXIS

Good luck!

Thanks I'll try it ! The last time I code something in Java was in OS 9 so I'm not very familiar with Java and OSX ....
