Cannot reproduce this issue on MacOS 10.4 with tomcat 5.0.28, JDK version 1.5.0_07-87.

However, we experienced similar issues, see ~~MAGNOLIA-1782~~ for a solution. Basically once you put in xalan.jar you shouldn't forget to delete the repositories folder since it might hold corrupt .xml files.

In case you run into that issue you have to do the following:

put the xalan jar to WEB-INF/lib
delete the created repositories directory (corrupt fails were created during the first startup)

We will put the the installation page

changing fix version to 3.5.2 and leaving open as a reminder for documentation notes, but will then close with no fix version as it's likely there's nothing else we can do.

Not much we can do about this AFAIK.
Please see comments for workarounds.
Will be mentionned in docs / release notes shortly.
