Hmm, I'm still confused. If you are just repackaging classes, why do  
you need a source JAR? Are the classes being recompiled again and again?

I also don't understand how XmlBeans finds the source JAR to begin  
with. If it's not on the CLASSPATH (which wouldn't make sense anyway  
because it doesn't contain classes), how does XmlBeans find the JAR?

Where would this interference come from? As long as the version you  
want to use is on your CLASSPATH and the one XmlBeans uses isn't,  
there wouldn't be any conflict, right?

Ah, so the Piccolo source JARs are also required? This wasn't  
mentioned in the README.txt.

What about xcresolver.zip? Same story?

Thanks,
