As reported in: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66563 http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2219 http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Netbeans/FaqXalanOnCP netbeans avoids to start if a bugged xalan is found in the classpath. So I removed the "xalan" directory in the org/apache directory of jre/lib/xml.jar **, then netbeans starts successfully. However, when creating a new project (for example using the TomcatJSPExample included in netbeans), there's an exception caused by: Caused by: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found at javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source) at org.openide.xml.XMLUtil.write(XMLUtil.java:396 .... and the project creation isn't complete (for example, nbproject/project.xml is empty). So, does netbeans need xalan to create a new project? How can I avoid that exception if I remove xalan? A similar error is reported if a run an existing project with the bundled tomcat. ** I try netbeans 5.0 on linux/powerpc, using the IBM JDK 1.5 beta.
Wrong component; has nothing to do with XML editing modules. Yes NetBeans needs Xalan - or rather, some working JAXP implementation - to create projects. Currently I think NB 5.0 is unable to run on the IBM JDK 1.5 release due to this bug, sorry. Volunteers would be appreciated to study the plethora of JAXP bugs that have necessitated workarounds and counterworkarounds for various JDK releases and try to come with a unifying org.openide.xml.XMLUtil.write that works correctly on every vendor's JDK version 1.4 or above. Please refer to issue #66563 for all details and add any new information there. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 66563 ***
