This is exactly what we'd like, and thanks for suggesting it. Help of this
kind can make the difference between getting some sleep and none at all
:-). Java has particular problems with CLASSPATH and also loading
incompatible class libraries. I think I had the latter when I was using an
out-of-date Jar file for one of the parsers. Quite difficult to pick up.
BTW there was a discussion on XML-DEV some months ago about how Java could
stamp versions of classes so it was impossible to pick up the wrong ones.
Has that made it into JDK1.2 and if so, is it recommended?
P.
BTW many thanks to those who wrote privately to me and pointed out that
java.text.SimpleDateFormat is the class to start using instead of
java.util.Date. It works reasonably well, but doesn't seem to throw errors
on things like 1998-08-32
