First, in case it helps anyone else, after following your suggestions I found that art of my problem/confusion was that I had managed to not have parallel directory hierarchies under descriptors and src -- that made attempting to replicate the tutorial example unlikely to succeed. When I straightened that out I was unable to run until I added the directory that contains the TypeSystem.xml file to the class path. I don't believe the example needed that, but I sure did.
I just almost had a successful run. However, it coughed because a file had a "non-XML character, 0x0." This also happened when i was running the unmodified tutorial example. I know the solution is "don't analyze any files with bad characters" -- but that seems much less robust than the quality of the rest of the system has been. (I think the file in question here was a Word file.) Of course, it might be a limitation of SAX, but could be nasty in a production environment (which we're a loong way away from) or even a proof-of-concept that gets given to customers. o, maybe I'm missing something obvious?
