Hi,

This fix is not suitable, and indeed breaks completely for our automated
test systems here.
We carry out all our testing as a customer would be expected, having access
to just the binary package.  Unfortunately, this means the files you're
attempting to work with do not exist, causing ANT to fail.

There are several issues that come to mind as I look at this particular
fix:
- Why are we renaming built libraries?
      Either the test needs to cope with what it's given, or there's a
problem in the build and package steps.
      In this particular case, the test script needs to determine which of
the XML parsers it wishes to test with, and use directly:
- Why are we working with files in obj/bin?
      Surely we should be testing against the packaged (obj/package/....)
structure, as we provide to our customers?


I have added failonerror="false" to the copy task, which prevents ANT from
failing.  I also needed to replicate a number of new properties you've
recently added to build.linux.properties across to the properties files for
the other platforms.

However, I am still not happy with this being done.  I would much prefer
that we set a property for the desired  xmlparser library name ... perhaps
overriding ${xmlParserLibraryName} with the appropriate choice of
${xml4c.xmlParserLibraryName} or ${xerces.xmlParserLibraryName}, where the
copy is currently taking place.

Regards,
Adrian
