This is a very common problem and one that makes using various Apache Java
projects together problematical. I know that I, for one, spent too much time
tracking down the jaxp.jar/xerces.jar/xml.jar org.w3c.node problem and that
I am not the only one to have had to do so.

This would go a long ways towards making setup and utilization of the
various Apache Java projects much easier for people who want to *use* them
rather than develop them.
