Description Chen Sun 2010-08-11 17:32:00 UTC 
I want to download CssValidator to my local machine. I have Java installed on c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21.
 
I am not a Java person at this moment so I am unwilling to install and config CVS; Ant; Appach; Tomcat; etc. 
 
I downloaded css-validator.jar at c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\css-validator.jar which is exact the same level as c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\lib
 
The issue is:
 
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21>java -jar css-validator.jar http://www.w3.org
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/tools/resourc
es/ProtocolException
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.w3c.tools.resources.ProtocolExc

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: org.w3c.css.css.CssValidator. Program will exit.

 I guess I missed a lot. Do I have to go through all these Ant-Appach-Tomcat things? What is the easiest way to run CSSValidator on local machine?
 
Thanks a lot!

Patches the build.xml file for current available dependencies

This are issues found in dev channel for compiling the jar-file on OS X. (mostly unreachable versions of packages)
Comment 3 Dinny Wu 2012-01-15 21:17:39 UTC 
I tried re-compile it successfully on my mac os since the official one is a bit out of date and can't run on my machine. I can offer the build.xml for ant to build the jar package if necessary.

Here is the patch of build.xml to make the build work on my mac os
