[jdom-interest] XML Schema validation asking or DOCTYPE?

[Neil Blue]

Thank you Travers,

The xerces 1.4.3 version works with the namespace:

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

I still don't undersand how the xerces.jar is being picked up as I am 
running with:

java -classpath ../build/jdom.jar:. SAXBuilderDemo

which doesn't include the xerces.jar file?

cheers
Neil
