A guy told me that they are swiching from Xerces to JAXP.  This is supposed to have 
been known to the plugin developers(all Eclipse plugin, not just JBoss-IDE).  Here's 
my IRC chat at #JBOSS on Freenode.  I'm CaptRespect.

  | 
  | <imperator> Kurrelgyre says it was left out on purpose and plugin developers are 
supposed to use JAXP
  | <CaptRespect> that's harsh.  
  | <Kurrelgyre> It's been in the plan for months and many milestones.  Unless you're 
doing schema validation 
  | or some other on-Core DOM 2 stuff that I can't recall right now,
  |  JAXP is good enough.  It provides the W3C interfaces and support for going from 
streams to a DOM and back 
  | as well as SAX parsing.
  | <Kurrelgyre> (I mean non-Core, no on-Core)
  | <CaptRespect> It's not posible to have both in?  Do they conflict?
  | <Kurrelgyre> The duplcated interfaces can be problematic if they show up on a 
classpath (which
  |  is possible given that plugins can export their dependencies).  If the 
classloader being 
  | used uses the wrong instance of the interface, code like "x instanceof 
org.w3c.Node" could
  |  fail in unexpected places.  Very bad.
  | <Kurrelgyre> Two classes using or implementing one of those interfaces might not 
be compatible at runtime.
  | <Kurrelgyre> And since JAXP is in the 1.4 JRE, trying to sidestep the problem 
means changing the interfaces for everyone else 
  | in the VM as well.  Not pretty.
  | 

So I guess it's not a bug in Eclipse and we'll just have to wait for the JBoss-IDE 
people to fix it.
