Crimson and dtd dependence

[Debbie Wilson]

I recently found that if you have a dtd specified in an xml file and that dtd file does not exist, you get the following:

!STACK 0
java.io.FileNotFoundException: d:\EclipseEnvs\3.0\I20031113Data\eclipse\runtime-workspace\abc\xxmyDTD.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)

...

In my particular case, I specified that the parser was to be a non-validating parser.  I don't really need the dtd to be present.  

Is there a place I can log this as a crimson bug?  Am I likely to get a fix for this problem or is there really no further development on crimson?  Does anyone else have experience with such an issue?
