[news.eclipse.tools] Re: .043 Version of xerces.jar

["Jeff McAffer" <mcaffer@xxxxxxxx>]

Note also that the only substantive difference between Xerces 1.2.1 and
XML4J 3.01 is a set of 4 classes which IBM includes for compatibility with
older versions of XML4J.  The Xerces doc includes a page which describes how
to convert from XML4J 2.* to Xerces 1.2.  Its pretty simple.
