The construct is called a "blank final" and is legal (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/typesValues.doc.html #10931), but there were compiler bugs in the 1.1.x series that would result in compile failures. I had not seen it in JDK 1.2.x or later compilers. However, no big deal in changing it to avoid the compiler bug. > > BUILD FAILED > > /home/dfaure/src/DOMTS/2001/DOM-Test-Suite/build.xml:358: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException I think this is a bug in Xalan. I've seen similar exceptions with earlier version, but I thought they had been fixed. You could switch to a different XSLT engine (I'd suggest SAXON 6.5.2, http://saxon.sf.net), typically by removing xalan.jar from Ant's lib directory and replacing it with saxon.jar.
