Hi All,

I'm using;

Jboss 4.2.3.GA
Java 1.5.0_06

Jboss ships with stax-api.jar that contains an XMLConstants class. This class conflicts with a class of the same name in the jvm rt.jar.

For some reason Eclipse IDE is picking up the stax-api.jar first, flagging a compile error. This class does not contain the constant I have referenced in my code.

How do I get around this. I thought I could simply remove the jar from my classpath. However I then receive further errors.

This would suggest to me that stax-api.jar shipped with JBoss and Java 5 or 6 are incompatible!

I would have expected to see many more posts regarding this issue!

How do I get round this?
