Re: Add jar files to classpath in VAJ? -- JAVA400-L

David;

Please give me the URLs for javaCup and BCEL packages. Thanks.
When I got Cocoon I get xalan and xerces of some versions. when  I got Fop I
also got xalan and xerces of some versions. Download of JAXP from Sun also
includes xalan and xerces (this package is proboblly never nessecery).
I wonder if I can simply get newest xalan (2.2.D9) and the xerces that comes
with it and use them to replace those in Cocoon and Fop? (cocoon 1.8.2
includes older version Fop 0.15.0)
