WindowTester fails to start application using xerces jar.

Hi,
WindowTester fails to launch the application if it is using xerces.
I noticed that an exception that says "....SAXParserFactoryImpl not found" is logged after trying to launch the application. At second launch try exception turns to "...ApplicationException. No application id has been found".
There are some similar issues in other forums and it seems that the problem occurs if more there is a jar that contains SAXParserFactoryImpl class other than jdk's rt.jar.
I can launch my application normally, but WindowTester can't launch it. The problem can be reproduced by adding xercesImpl jar to example project ContactManagerSwing shipped with WindowTester plugin. Just add this jar and try to launch the application.
(I am using Eclipse Helios 3.6.1, WindowTester 6.0.0, Java 1.6.0_22, Xerces 2.6.2)

Yes, we do see a problem if the xerces jar is on the classpath and we will look into it.

There is a new beta available at

http://code.google.com/javadevtools/dow ... -beta.html

Could you try this and see and let us know if you still see the problem?

I tried the beta version, unfortunately problem still continues. you can reproduce the bug easily by adding xercesimpl.jar to build path of sample application ContactManagerSwing shipped with WindowTester plugin.
Thanks,

We will look into this issue. Could you list all the jars you would like to have on the classpath?
Thanks!

Not able to reproduce the problem! Added xercesimpl jar to classpath in ContactManagerSwing application. Was able to launch the application and record interactions. Maybe you could do an unistall for the WindowTester and install the beta again?

Hi,
I installed a fresh copy of eclipse 3.6 and beta version of the plugin and tested it again. unfortunately it still fails.
I cannot upload the whole project because max allowed attachment size is 256 kb. I uploaded classpath of project, the error logs( .log from .metadata folder and other two from .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\tmp_workbench_launch_config folder).
I tested it in both java 1.6.0_22-b04 and java 1.6.0_18.
