Strange Errors, during compile - "DataWriter.java:80: cannot find symbol"

[Zearom]

hi,

I want to install OX and using the nice wiki tutorial, but at "IV.1. Open-Xchange Installation" the compile returns following error:

openexchange:/tmp/open-xchange# ant -Dlib.dir=/opt/open-xchange/lib install
Buildfile: build.xml

That seems to be a problem with the jdom.jar. Where did you get it and which version is it?
