Unfortunately I broke the Gump biuld that outputs the information to answer
al this easily, I'm fixing thattoday, but from this Gump, I can tell you.

http://gump.covalent.com/log/checkstyle.html
Not sure which JDK is used on Covalent, the Ant is '1.6' -- 'cos it is CVS
HEAD Ant. The XML parser is CVS HEAD of XERCES.

So, I wonder if the thing to do is remove this dependency, and let whatever
is in the JDK take over.

    <depend project="xml-xerces"/> in

http://gump.covalent.com/log/module_checkstyle.html

or, ought we request crimson?

Gumpers, can you advise [I've not run into this.]?

I'm also copying the Gump list, 'cos I know there are folks there who are
savvy about such matters.

Which means, it is 1.7alpha.  Not too different from 1.6, but
different. 8-)

Both should work, as should explicitly requesting JAXP:

  <depend project="jaxp" id="parser"/>

But I'm not sure whether this is going to help, as DefaultHandler's
resolveEntity method is supposed to throw IOException according to my
JDK 1.4.1 javadocs.
