[relaxng-user] date datatype, w3c, java, aargh

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Sebastian,

We run into this problem last Friday and I traced it down.
The implementation the the GregorianCalendar class was changed in Java 
1.5. Deep down Jing gets an IllegalArgumentException with the message 
HOUR_OF_DAY (or something like that) in the GregorianCalendar class and 
that causes the date datatype not to work.
The best thing is to stay with Java 1.4 for now. As soon as I will get 
in the office I can send more details about the exact part of the code 
that has this problem if that helps.

Best Regards,
George
