Hi Larry,

This SHOULD be working already.  I double-checked the build.xml file and 
the failure message SHOULD read:

Unable to locate Bouncy Castle JCE Provider  Run ant get-crypto to download 
the appropriate jar file

Is this not happening for you?  Or is it that the message should change to 
make it less cryptic?  [Suggestions welcome :) ]


>2) check in the change to include jars in the expresso-binary target?

Working on it! :)


>3) fix the xerces conflict somehow?

Do you mean that somehow your classloader is picking up an older Xerces 
instead of the newer version??  I haven't had what you're describing 
happening on my machine, so I don't know what to say about that.

Thanks for the feedback!
