Description Matt Gaunt CLA 2006-07-18 10:50:48 EDT
After installing and using the Ant Editor successfully for 24 hours, it suddenly stops working with a message 'Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure: Unexpected exception was thrown.'

The stack trace thrown is as follows:

I think it may have something to do with variable calls in the Ant scripts (eg:     <property name="publish_mode" value="local" />
    <import file="publish-${publish_mode}.xml" />
). But then that doesn't explain why it worked fine in the beginning.
