E.1. Installing HtmlUnit

Download HtmlUnit from http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/ and unzip it to your local drive. In our examples, we have unzipped it to C:\Java\htmlunit-2.7.

E.1.1. Standard configuration

Add all JAR files to the classpath except for the three XML libraries: XML-APIs, Xalan, and Xerces. Starting with version 1.4.2, Java ships with an XML parser and transformer (Apache Xalan). Because HtmlUnit ships with XML-APIs, Xalan, and Xerces, the version of these libraries must override the default Java versions through the Java-endorsed mechanism.[1], [2]
