Error with top level element...

I'm getting this error whenever I open buildCommon.xml file:


Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/buildCommon.xml'. Line 4, Position 4

<property name="antRoot" value="${toolDir}/Ant"/>

Thank you.

It means that you have more than one top-level element.
All well-formed XML files have a single top-level element.

Where would I check that I have a single top-level element?

I guess just send us buildCommon.xml and we can point it out.

or here is an illegal example:

I've attached the file. Thanks for your help.

You need to wrap all of that XML in a top-level element:

<buildCommon>
... the document as it is right now can go here ...
</buildCommon>

Thank you.

I did what you said but still the same page I get...

In my Komodo editor, it complains about the same like by underlining it with a red sauigly line. I add top level element placing everything inside it, including the comment, and I made sure that the top level element was also closed at the bottom of the document.

This took care of the problem.

If it doesn't do it for you I would try added a <?xml version="1.0"?> to the top of the document. You say that you are opening the XML file ... with what are you opening it with, including version?

I put this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<buildCommon>

...
..
...

</buildCommon>

I simply double clicked on the buildCommon.xml and this time a bunch of code appeared which is the actual code in the file but coloured. Is this correct now?

Thank you
