Problem with the new XML APIs
-----------------------------

         Key: MPJAVA-37
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPJAVA-37
     Project: maven-java-plugin
        Type: Bug
    Versions: 1.5    
 Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.1
    Reporter: Jon Dokulil


When compiling a class which makes a call to 
org.w3c.dom.Document.setXmlStandalone (part of the DOM Level 3 API, first 
packaged with J2SE 5.0) I am getting an error that javac cannot find the symbol 
setXmlStandalone(boolean).  The error comes about because 
$MAVEN_HOME/lib/endorsed/xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar comes before the J2SE 5.0 
classes.jar (on Mac OS X, usually rt.jar on other operating systems) on the 
classpath.  This goes back to a problem of Maven using Xerces, which does not 
support the latest W3C spec.  

A dirty dirty short-term fix that worked for me is to replace 
$MAVEN_HOME/lib/endorsed/xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar with a symbolic link to the 
classes.jar/rt.jar file.
