JDOM Classpath Help Required

[kpandya]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to follow an example using JDOM, which will write, update delete an XML file.

I thought I had set the JDOM & Xerces classpaths correctly, but I'm guessing not now:

I had one error in my java file as follows:

C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT\XMLEdit>javac CATALOGManager.java
CATALOGManager.java:81: illegal escape character
FileWriter f = new FileWriter(new File("C:\\Tomcat 5.5\\webapps\\ROOT\\X
MLEdit\CATALOG1.xml"));
^
1 error

So I forgot the extra '\' in the path. Not a problem.

When I then went onto compile the java file thinking all was ok, I got the following errors:

C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT\XMLEdit>javac CATALOGManager.java

Which I cant understand. Could someone helpout setting the classpath for JDOM. As I have put the JDOM & Xerces jar files in my classpath and set the path as follows (using the environment variable in Windows):

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\bin;.;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\lib\jdom.jar; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\lib\xerces.jar"C:\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar";"C:\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\jsp-api.jar";"C:\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\catalina-root.jar";"C:\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\jdom.jar";"C:\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\xerces.jar"

Is this incorrect? Is this what the errors are referring to?
Any Help much appreciated.
