I ran into the same error, however it only happens when I have
blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 seelcted.  If I use sun-jdk-1.4.1.01 it compiles fine.

I have same error with combination of xerces-j and blackdown-jdk-1.4.1

Hello ,
can you please see bug number 20712?
I have posted there 3 patches which are correcting the java code in order to get it working with blackdown jdk :-)

Regards

At first, I wasn't comfortable with the idea of patching Xerces because of a
Blackdown compile program.  However I have reviewed Voicu Liviu's patchset and
have tested Xerces across Blackdown, and the things that depend on Xerces at
runtime (including my own applications) ... and all appears to be sane.  

My thanks to Voicu for submitting this fix.  

xerces-2.3.0-r1 is in the tree. Cheers

Closing.
