Re: missing org.w3c.dom.DocumentType methods in xerces.jar in
Xerces-J-bin.1.1.2.zip
Hi Robert
I also encountered a few problems when compiling with sun's jdk, apparently they
don't sort out dependencies as well as they should. I then got jikes111 compiler
and it works quite nicely. It also has the bonus of being a lot faster that
Sun's compiler.
Cheers
Jose
