Hi,

I'm having trouble getting Hibernate to work on a new machine. I have made a copy of everything from a working system, but I get an XML parsing error when I try to run on a new system.

In both cases, my classpath is setup from Ant, so that should not be different. It appears I must be picking up different versions of xerces or other XML-related jar files, but I cannot tell which or where.

I am trying to run SchemaExport. See my error message and hibernate.cfg.xml below.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Using Hibernate 2.1.4 (also tried 2.1.1)
MySQL 4.0.18

Thanks,

Lai
