The following happens when compiling with xerces-2.7 installed. It's interesting to note that jing is depending on =xerces-1.3*, but the way that ant builds its classpath, it ends up using =xerces-2*.

compile:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /var/tmp/portage/jing-20030619-r1/work/jing-20030619/build

I'm really tempted to just throw UnsupportedOperationException for the new method. I may just do that, unless there is a serious objection.

Fixed in CVS.
