It does seem to be a problem downloading the xmlbeans jar, as jar tvf 
reports an error opening the zip file. What is strange is that it always 
occurs, I have tried removing the jar file and re-downloading it several 
times with the same result. However, if I copy the link and download via 
my browser the file is fine.
I am using the sun-java6-jdk which appears to be the only difference - I 
will try again using OpenJDK later.
